EN: to surpass, to overcome, to outdo
This is the ultimate 'I'm better than you' move. It's when you one-up someone. Your officemate got a promotion? You get a better offer from a competitor. Your ex has a new partner? You show up glowing up and unbothered. To 'dumaig sa subasta' (to outbid) is a classic example—you literally put more money where your mouth is to win. It's the spirit of 'Galingan mo, bes!'
From 'daig' (surpassed) with the -um- infix.
Often used in competitive contexts. Can mean to defeat an opponent, overcome a challenge, or simply be better than someone/something. 'Dumaig sa subasta' is a common phrase meaning 'to outbid'.
