EN: early
"Aga" is that feeling when your alarm goes off at 4 AM for your BPO shift, or when your tita shows up for the 8 AM party at 6:30 AM. It's the opposite of "Filipino time." It's being *too* ready, *too* soon. "Ang aga mo naman!" can be both a compliment and a complaint.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *ma-aRaq meaning 'early'.
Often used with the prefix "ma-" to form the adjective "maaga" (early). "Aga" by itself is less common in full sentences but frequent in exclamations.
