What everyone hopes to do from a rich, long-lost relative. It can be money, land, or the old family house. But more often than not, what you 'magmana' from your parents is their nose, their temper, or their debt. "Kanino ka ba nagmana?" is the classic question when you do something weird.
ROOT MEANING: inheritance; heritage
Can refer to inheriting tangible assets (yaman), physical traits (itsura), or even personality traits (ugali).
