FIL: Ang kalagayan ng pagkakaroon ng kasaganaan sa buhay, yaman, at kaginhawaan; malayo sa kahirapan.
EN: prosperity; affluence; comfortable life
This is the ultimate #SanaAll goal. It's not just being rich (mayaman); it's living a comfortable, prosperous, and stable life. It's the opposite of "isang kahig, isang tuka." When your lola wishes you "kariwasaan," she's hoping you get that high-paying job, a nice house, and enough money to treat the whole family to Jollibee without checking your bank account first. It's the Filipino dream.
From "ka-" + "diwasa" (obsolete root meaning 'prosperous') + "-an".
A formal and somewhat literary term for prosperity.
