What Is Pahinante In English? (Answers)
PAHINANTE IN ENGLISH – In this article, we are going to learn what “pahinante” means when translated into English.
Generally, “pahinante” is described as a laborer who performs manual labor. Examples of these are “porters” (unloader of cargo from ships at the dock), stevedores, or “drivers”.
However, because the Philippines is an archipelago, different islands in the country have different dialects. This causes the word “pahinante” to take on a different meaning.
According to an article from Binisaya, “pahinante” could mean a hired laborer on a farm or ranch (ranch hand). It could also be used to describe someone who drives a herd or takes care of horses.
Here are some example sentences:
- Naghihintay ang mga pahinante sa port para kumarga ng mga gamit ng pasahero na bababa sa barko.
- Kumuha ng pahinante ang aking ama dahil napaka bigat ng mga dala niya.
- Buti naman at may tumulong na pahinante samin.
- Binayaran ko ang pahinante ng malaking tip dahil kaarawan niya raw.
- May suki na kaming pahinante sa mga biyahe namin.
In English this could be translated as:
- The porters are waiting at the docks to carry the luggage of the passengers getting out of the ferry.
- My dad hired a stevedore to carry his things because they were too heavy.
- It was a good thing that a porter was there to help us.
- We paid the stevedore extra money because he said it was his birthday.
- We already have a favorite porter that helps us in our travels.
