EN: irritable; short-tempered
You know that one tita who gets mad when the wifi is slow, the coffee is cold, or the sinigang is not sour enough? That's 'magagalitin'. It's for people whose patience level is perpetually at 1%. They have a short fuse, like a firecracker you light up and have to throw away immediately. Best to give them space... and maybe a Snickers.
From 'ma-' + repetition of the first syllable of the root ('ga-lit' -> 'ga-galit') + '-in' suffix.
Describes a personality trait rather than a temporary state of being angry ('galit').
