EN: to be born into; to find upon waking
That feeling when you wake up and find out na may pasok pala kahit holiday (because your boss declared it a working holiday). It can also be more profound, like "Ito na ang mundong magisnan ko" – the world you were born into, with all its traffic and political drama.
ROOT MEANING: awake
This is a more literary or formal verb form. It has two main senses: 1) literally finding something upon waking up, and 2) figuratively being born into a certain situation or reality. The '-an' suffix makes the root word the location or circumstance of the action.
