EN: to give meaning; to define; to interpret
This is what you do when you try to explain a meme to your parents. You're giving context, you're defining the punchline. It's also that deep, philosophical thing you do when you're trying to find your 'purpose' in life, trying to magbigay-kahulugan to your very existence, usually after a long night out or a major life crisis.
From 'magbigay' (to give) + 'kahulugan' (meaning).
Used both in academic/formal contexts (defining a term) and in personal/philosophical contexts (finding meaning).
