EN: to become impoverished; to live in extreme poverty
This is a deep, classic Tagalog word for being broke, but on a whole other level. Hindi lang 'petsa de peligro'. Ito 'yung state na you're struggling to make ends meet, 'isang kahig, isang tuka'. It's the reality many face, a struggle to get by.
ROOT MEANING: destitute, impoverished
A formal and literary term for experiencing destitution. It implies a state of being, not just a temporary lack of money.
