EN: the other party in a collision; rival
Your 'kabangga' is literally who or what you crashed into, whether it's another car on EDSA or a lamppost because you were texting. Figuratively, it’s your rival—the person you're always clashing with at work, the other team in the basketball finals, or that other 'bida-kontrabida' in your life's teleserye. It’s someone you’re bound to collide with.
From 'ka-' + 'bangga' (collision). 'Ka-' indicates a partner or co-participant in an action.
ROOT MEANING: collision, crash
Can be used literally for accidents or figuratively for conflicts.
