EN: to go first; to be the first
When you and your friend are leaving a party and you say, 'Mag-una na ako, ha?' meaning 'I'll go ahead, 'kay?' It's the polite way of ditching them. Also, what you do in a buffet line if you want to get the first crack at the lechon.
From `mag-` (verb prefix) + `una` (first).
ROOT MEANING: first; primary; before
Can also mean to prioritize something when used with an object, e.g., 'Mag-una ka sa pag-aaral' (Prioritize your studies). However, the primary meaning is to go first.
