EN: to have a vocation
This is when you find your 'calling.' For some, it's becoming a priest or nun. For others, it's finally discovering your 'bokasyon' is to be a plantito/plantita, a professional meme-maker, or a full-time 'sana all' commentator on social media. It's about finding that one thing you're meant to do.
From 'magka-' (to have) + 'bokasyon' (vocation), from Spanish 'vocación'.
ROOT MEANING: vocation, calling
Often used in a religious context (a calling to priesthood or religious life) but can be used more broadly for any strong professional or personal calling.
