EN: to be able to do/make
The ultimate answer to 'Kaya mo ba?' (Can you do it?). When you finally fix that leaky faucet using only YouTube tutorials and a prayer, you can proudly say, 'Nays! Na-`magawa` ko rin!' It's the feeling of accomplishment when you overcome a challenge, whether it's a work deadline or assembling IKEA furniture.
ROOT MEANING: work; deed; act; creation
This verb combines the concept of 'doing' (gawa) with 'ability' (the 'ma-' prefix). Often used to express capability or success in completing a task.
