EN: until, as long as, up to
The ultimate "wait lang" word. "Maghihintay ako hangga't 'di ka dumarating" (I'll wait until you arrive) - the national anthem of the martir friend. "Mag-aaral ako hangga't kaya ko" (I'll study as long as I can) - the battle cry during finals week. It sets the boundary, the finish line you're either waiting for or trying to avoid.
Often appears as 'hanggang' (most common form), or as 'hangga't' (contraction of 'hangga at'). 'Hangga' by itself is less common in modern speech but is the root.
