EN: to smile at each other
That moment when you and your bestie see something funny and you just look at each other and know. It's the silent communication that happens in a crowded room. It's the awkward moment when you pass an acquaintance and you both do that little half-smile, half-nod thing. It’s a group chat, but with faces.
`mag-` + `ngiti` + `-an`. The `-an` suffix indicates a reciprocal or collective action.
ROOT MEANING: smile
Implies a reciprocal or mutual action. It's not one person smiling, but people smiling *at each other*.
