EN: to deal in rice; to put rice into
The verb for being a rice mogul. It means to sell rice, usually on a larger scale than just one sack. When you hear about a 'bodega na nagbibigas,' you picture sacks upon sacks of Dinorado and Sinandomeng. Less commonly, it can mean to put rice into something, but that's like using a super formal word for a simple task.
From `mag-` (verb prefix) + `bigas` (uncooked rice).
ROOT MEANING: uncooked rice
Primarily used in the context of business or trade. 'Magbigay ng bigas' (to give rice) is more common for simple acts of giving.
🇵🇭 Nais ng pamilya nila na magbigas bilang kanilang pangunahing negosyo.
