EN: to be enough, to fit, to suffice
The verb form of 'kasya'. This is what you pray for when you're trying to fit all your pasalubong into one carry-on bag. 'Sana **kasiya** lahat!' It's also used for budget: 'Will my salary be enough until the next payday?' The eternal Filipino question.
From the adjective "kasya" (can fit, enough). "Kasiya" is often used in verb conjugations, though the verb "magkasya" is more common.
While it can stand alone in some contexts, it's more frequently seen as part of a conjugated verb like "magkasiya" or in the phrase "kasiya pa" (still fits). The adjective "kasya" is more common than this verb form.
