EN: to act, to portray, to perform a role
The official verb for actors, cosplayers, and anyone pretending to be someone they're not. When you 'gumanap ng papel,' you're playing a role. Like when you have to be the happy, well-adjusted tita at the family reunion even though you're dead inside.
From the root 'ganap' (complete, to happen, role) with the infix '-um-'.
ROOT MEANING: role; performance
Commonly used in the phrase 'gumanap ng/sa papel na...' which means 'to play the role of...'. It is closely related to 'gumampan' but focuses more on portrayal and characterization.
