EN: to have a heated argument; to have friction
When the "friendly" debate about politics on Facebook turns into personal attacks and blocked accounts. It's when you and your sibling argue over the TV remote and it escalates into bringing up mistakes from 10 years ago. The 'init' here isn't about temperature, it's about the 'init ng ulo' (hot-headedness).
From `mag-` + `ka-` + `init` + `-an`, indicating a mutual or reciprocal state of being "heated."
ROOT MEANING: heat, warmth
Refers to emotional or verbal conflict, not physical temperature.
