/lu-GI-hin/
FIL: Pagsamantalahan o dayain ang isang tao sa isang transaksyon upang siya'y malugi o mawalan ng kita.
EN: to cause a loss to someone, to put at a disadvantage
That feeling when you get short-changed by the jeepney driver or when you buy something online and the item you receive is a cheap knock-off. "Nalugi ako" means you lost money on a deal. "Huwag mo akong lugihin" is a warning: "Don't you dare cheat me out of my money." It's the business equivalent of being played.
From `lugi` (business loss) + `-hin` (verb suffix).
Used in the context of business, transactions, or any situation where there's an exchange and one party ends up with the short end of the stick.
