FIL: Ang pagiging sanhi ng galak o katuwaan sa isang tao; ang magbigay ng kaligayahan.
EN: to cause joy; to make happy
This is the mission of every stand-up comedian, your friend who brings snacks, or that one person who sends you funny memes when you're down. It's the act of actively trying to make someone's day. It's more intentional than just "pasayahin." It's like you're trying to fill their heart with pure, unadulterated joy.
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) + `galak` (joy).
A slightly more formal or poetic term than "magpasaya" (to make happy).
