FIL: Ang pagsisimula ng operasyon o pag-andar ng isang makina, sasakyan, o anumang kagamitang mekanikal o elektroniko.
EN: to start a machine; to make something run
This is the first thing a Grab driver does in the morning. It's what you do to the generator during a brownout. It's the 'turn on' button for anything with an engine or motor. 'Hindi ko mapagana' is the cry for help, while 'magpaandar' is the action of the one who knows how to fix it.
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) + `andar` (run, function, from Spanish 'andar').
ROOT MEANING: running state (of a machine); function
Specifically for machines, engines, or systems. For simple electronics, 'buksan' (to open/turn on) is more common.
