EN: to feel ashamed; to become shy
This is that feeling when your mom pulls out your baby pictures in front of your crush. Or when you try to sing in a videoke and your voice cracks on the first note. The `magka-` prefix implies you *acquired* or *were overcome by* the feeling of shame or shyness. It's an involuntary reaction to an awkward social situation.
From `magka-` + `hiya` (shame, shyness).
ROOT MEANING: shame; shyness; embarrassment
Can mean to feel ashamed of something one did, or to become shy in a social context.
