/mag-ka-bung-GO/
FIL: Ang pagtama o pagbangga ng dalawa o higit pang bagay, tao, o sasakyan sa isa't isa.
EN: to collide with each other; to bump into each other
The classic scene in a Filipino rom-com where the leads meet. They're both rushing, they 'magkabunggo', papers fly everywhere, and boom—love at first sight. In real life, it's what happens in Divisoria when you're not looking, and instead of love, you just get a 'Sorry po!' and a lost slipper.
From 'magka-' (prefix indicating mutuality or accident) + 'bunggo' (bump, collide).
ROOT MEANING: collision; crash; bump
Implies a mutual or reciprocal action. If one party is stationary, 'makabunggo' (to accidentally bump into) or 'ibunggo' (to cause to bump into) is more appropriate.
