Pang-uri
Tumutukoy sa isang tao na walang anumang ugnayang pampamilya o relasyon sa dugo sa isa pang tao.
/mag-ma-HAL/
FIL: Mag-ukol ng damdamin ng pag-ibig, pagtingin, o pag-aruga sa isang tao, bagay, o konsepto.
EN: to love
The verb form of the national emotion. It's what OFWs do for their families from thousands of miles away. It's what you promise in front of a priest or a judge. It's what makes you text "kain ka na?" and what makes you cry during a sad Filipino movie. Be careful, this is different from the other `magmahal`!
ROOT MEANING: expensive, costly; dear, beloved
This refers to the emotion of love. It has a homonym that means 'to become expensive'.
