      I hate hearing this word being thrown around so casually. When I worked at GW, plenty students used to call each other this like umm you guys don’t have kids, you’re just kids! 😆https://twitter.com/Lani4Pasifika/status/1255653248704249856 …

      The amount of people who don't know that "par" = "kumpaire'" = Godfather of my kid is actually nuts https://twitter.com/loganreyes/status/1255646791480930305 …

      I don't mind hearing "par" too much but I honestly am SHOOK by how many people weren't aware of the origins of the word. Absolutely shook. I took my knowledge for granted.

      I wonder if it’s a generational thing because we used to hear “kumaile-ku” and “kumpaire-ku” all the time. Now everyone says “my måle’” and “my påre”.

      So there was a guy in my thread who pointed out that another reason why he thought it was "friend" was bc in Tagalog, "pari" means friend. So even the "påre" people I feel aren't getting it quite right either bc "påre" and paire' are very diff sounds.

      Not that it matters to them whether they're right in what they say but to me I wouldn't say "påre", I just say kumpaire'. No confusion that way. I didn't hear "par" so widespread til I moved to Guam and really only recently actually. People in Saipan say "bat" not "par" lmao.

          I just realized what I said made it sound like I was invalidating your point. Your point I agree with, it is a generational thing definitely!
