EN: to understand each other; to have a mutual understanding
The goal of every couple's fight, every team meeting, and every family discussion about politics. It's when you finally get why your friend is 'marupok' or why your mom keeps sending you chain messages. It's a rare achievement, so when it happens, it's magic. The `-an` suffix implies it's a two-way (or multi-way) street.
From `mag-` (verb prefix) + `unawa` (understanding) + `-an` (reciprocal action suffix).
ROOT MEANING: understanding; comprehension
This is a reciprocal verb, meaning the action is done between two or more subjects. You can't `mag-unawaan` by yourself.
