EN: thief, robber
The OG "snatcher." Whether it's your wallet, your phone, or your heart (charot!), a magnanakaw takes what isn't theirs. In modern times, this can also be the person who "borrows" your Netflix password and changes the profile names, or the office mate who keeps stealing your favorite pen. The ultimate "bida-bida sa hindi niya property."
From `mag-` + `nanakaw` (reduplication of the first syllable of the root `nakaw`).
