When your bag is too heavy, you 'gaanan' it by giving stuff to your friends. When your workload is killing you, you ask your boss to 'gaanan' it. When your heart is heavy with 'hugot', you 'gaanan' it by talking to a friend. It's the act of reducing a burden, whether it's physical, professional, or emotional.
From the root word "gaan" (light/lightness) + suffix "-an".
Can be used for literal weight or metaphorical burdens like work, problems, or feelings.
