EN: to study, to learn
The verb form! This is the grind. The late-night coffee sessions before an exam, the endless PowerPoints in a meeting, the YouTube tutorials you watch to fix the sink. 'Mag-aral' is the process. It's what you do to hopefully get the 'aral' (the lesson).
From Malay 'ajar', meaning 'to teach' or 'to learn'.
This root is used to form verbs like 'mag-aral' (to study), 'aralin' (to study something specific), and 'pag-aralan' (to study/analyze something). The pronunciation stress shifts to the second syllable when used as a verb root.
