FIL: Isang katangian na nagpapakita ng labis na pagnanasa sa yaman o kapangyarihan, kadalasan sa paraang nakasasama sa iba; sakim.
EN: Greedy; rapacious
This is next-level selfish. Not just 'kuripot' (stingy), but actively wanting more, more, more at the expense of others. Think villains in teleseryes who want to steal the hacienda, the business, and the protagonist's inheritance. A 'ganid na tao' is someone who would take the last piece of lechon even if everyone else hasn't eaten. The human embodiment of the 'mine, mine, mine' seagulls from Finding Nemo.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *ganid.
A very strong and negative descriptor. Often used with 'sa pera' (for money) or 'sa kapangyarihan' (for power). The noun form refers to a greedy person.
🇵🇭 Huwag kang maging ganid sa pera at matutong mamahagi sa kapwa.
🇺🇸 Don't be greedy for money and learn to share with others.
🇵🇭 Ang pagiging ganid ang nagtulak sa kanya na manlamang ng iba.
🇺🇸 Being greedy pushed him to take advantage of others.
