FIL: Ginagamit upang ipahayag ang mas mataas na antas o kantidad; lampas sa isang tiyak na bilang, sukat, o pamantayan.
EN: more, greater
The word that fuels all competition, from school honors to office promotions. "Mas higit ang effort niya." (His effort is greater.) It's the +1 in life. It's what you want your salary to be, what you want your vacation days to be, and what you tell your friend when they ask if you like their new partner more than the ex. It's the ultimate upgrade word.
From Proto-Philippine *higət (tight, taut). The meaning shifted to 'exceeding' or 'more'.
Often used in comparative phrases, like 'higit na' (more) or 'higit sa' (more than).
