What does the Tagalog word pinapalagpas mean?

"Pinapalagpas" in Tagalog has two main meanings:

1. To let go, to forgive: This is the most common meaning. It implies releasing someone from a responsibility, an obligation, or a punishment. It can also be used in the context of forgiving someone for a mistake or wrong-doing.

Example: "Pinapalagpas ko na ang kasalanan niya." (I am letting go of his mistake.)

2. To pass by, to miss: This meaning is less common and refers to something that is not caught or taken advantage of. It can also refer to missing an opportunity or an event.

Example: "Pinapalagpas ko lang ang pagkakataon na makausap siya." (I just let go of the opportunity to talk to him.)

In both meanings, "pinapalagpas" suggests a deliberate act of letting something go, either due to forgiveness, understanding, or simply not wanting to pursue it.
