EN: to become entangled or implicated with each other
This is when a simple issue becomes a group project of problems. Parang chismis na nagsimula sa isa, tapos biglang damay na 'yung buong barkada, 'yung kapitbahay, at 'yung pusa nila. It's a messy web of involvement where everyone gets dragged in. "Nadamay lang po ako!"
From `magka-` (to become) + reduplicated `dawit` (implicated).
ROOT MEANING: implication
Often has a negative connotation, implying being dragged into trouble or a complex situation.
