EN: to imitate; to copy
Before 'copycat,' there was 'manggagaya.' This is what you do when your younger sibling mimics every word you say. It's also what happens when a new milk tea shop opens and suddenly ten more pop up on the same street with almost the same menu.
From Sanskrit 'gaya' (manner, way).
This is the root word for verbs like 'gumaya', 'gayahin', 'manggaya'. As a root word, it is often used in its inflected forms.
