EN: to be able to hear
A slightly more formal and less common version of 'marinig'. It's the 'Can you hear me now?' of Tagalog. When the chismis is faint but you're trying your best to catch it, you're hoping na may madinig ka. It's about the ability to perceive a sound.
From `ma-` (actor-focus potential) + `dinig` (hear). `Dinig` is a variant of `rinig`.
ROOT MEANING: hearing; something audible
Often used interchangeably with `marinig`, but `marinig` is more common in everyday conversation. `Madinig` can sound slightly more formal or regional.
