Your ride-or-die, your beshie, your kakampi, your karamay sa chismis at inuman. The people you send ugly selfies and memes to at 3 AM. "Magkaibigan kami" is the PH equivalent of "we're just friends," whether you mean it or you're deep in the friendzone.
From `mag-` + `kaibigan`. The prefix `mag-` here indicates a relationship between the subjects.
ROOT MEANING: friend
