EN: To sit on the ground or floor
This is what you do when all the chairs in the coffee shop are taken, or during a protest rally, or when you're just too tired and dramatically drop to the floor. It's the act of sitting on the ground, Filipino-style, often done with a certain level of 'bagsak' or exhaustion.
Possibly from `lupa` (ground) + `gi` (a suffix indicating position or manner).
Often seen as `lumupagi` (verb) or `nakalupagi` (adjective/state).

🇵🇭 Maraming tao ang nakalupagi sa parke habang nagpapalipas ng oras.
