FIL: Isang pandiwa na nangangahulugang ang pagbabago ng isang estado, katangian, o pagkakakilanlan patungo sa iba; o ang pag-iral sa isang partikular na kalagayan.
EN: to be, to become
This is the ultimate "glow-up" verb. It's about transformation. From single to "in a relationship," from trainee to regular employee, from "just friends" to something more. `Maging` is the process, the journey. It's the verb for all your "sana all" moments and New Year's resolutions.
Considered a defective or irregular verb. It functions as a base form for expressing a future state or a command to be something.
Often used in aspirations, commands, or stating a potential change of state. The past tense is 'naging' and the present progressive tense is 'nagiging'.
