/mag-ga-WA/
FIL: Isang anyo ng pandiwang 'gumawa' na nagpapahiwatig ng paglikha, pagsasagawa, o pagbuo ng isang bagay. Madalas gamitin sa anyong pautos o sa pagtatanong.
EN: to make; to do; to create
Basically the same as 'gumawa'. It's the verb for getting things done. 'Maggawa ka ng assignment mo.' 'Maggawa ka ng paraan.' It's the command form your parents use when they're tired of your excuses. It’s less common in everyday conversation than 'gumawa' but still understood.
ROOT MEANING: work; deed; act; creation
'Maggawa' is a less common conjugation of 'gawa' compared to 'gumawa.' It's often used in imperative sentences or questions, sometimes carrying a slightly more forceful or deliberate tone. For example, 'Anong maggagawa natin?' (What can we do?).
🇵🇭 Ano ang maggagawa ko kung ayaw niyang makinig?
🇺🇸 What can I do if he doesn't want to listen?
🇵🇭 Maggawa na kayo ng inyong takdang-aralin.
🇺🇸 Do your homework now.
