/ma-ga-ga-MIT/
FIL: Nasa hinaharap na anyo ng pandiwa. Nagsasaad na ang isang bagay ay mayroong silbi, pakinabang, o maaaring gamitin sa darating na panahon.
EN: will be able to be used; can be used; will be useful
That 'Sayang, itapon' feeling? The opposite of that is 'magagamit pa 'to!' This is the mantra of every Filipino mom hoarding plastic containers, empty ice cream tubs, and 'good' paper bags. It's the future tense of resourcefulness. You're not a hoarder, you're just... prepared for a future where that broken electric fan *might* be useful for spare parts.
From 'ma-' + repetition of the first syllable of the root ('ga-mit' -> 'ga-gamit'). This indicates the future potential aspect.
This is the future tense potential form, meaning 'will be able to be used' or 'will be usable.' It's different from 'gagamitin' which means 'will use.'
