EN: to be impregnated (by someone)
This is the passive form of 'getting someone pregnant.' It's what happens when things get a little too 'Netflix and chill' and someone ends up with a +1 for the next nine months. It's a classic teleserye plot point.
From 'buntis' (pregnant). The prefix 'ma-' and suffix '-an' create a passive verb form, indicating that the subject is the one who becomes pregnant.
ROOT MEANING: pregnant
The focus is on the person who becomes pregnant. The actor (the one who caused the pregnancy) is usually introduced with 'ng'.
