EN: to belittle; to underestimate
This is what a 'Marites' does when they see you wearing a non-branded shirt. It's the act of making someone feel small to make yourself feel big. It's the "Ah, ganyan lang?" attitude. Don't let anyone 'magmaliit' you, whether it's for your job, your dreams, or the amount of rice you eat.
Often used in the context of social hierarchy, prejudice, or simple arrogance.
