EN: to make for someone
This is the ultimate 'lambing' verb. When you ask your mom, 'Ma, igawa mo naman ako ng kape,' it's not just about the coffee, it's about the love. It's the BPO agent asking their partner, 'Igawa mo 'ko baon please?', a request packed with 'puyat' and 'pagod'. It's the act of creation, but with a specific beneficiary in mind.
ROOT MEANING: work; deed; act; creation
The 'i-' prefix here indicates a benefactive focus, meaning the action is done for someone. 'Igawa mo ako' means 'Make for me'.
