EN: to indulge oneself; to eat one's fill
The official command at any Pinoy buffet or handaan. "Sige, magpakasawa ka!" means "Eat until you can't breathe and have no regrets." It's the philosophy of unli-rice, unli-wings, and unli-samgyup. Live without limits, at least until the food runs out.
From the prefix `magpaka-` (to deliberately cause oneself to be) and the root `sawa` (satiated, fed up).
ROOT MEANING: fed up, tired of, jaded
Commonly used in the context of food and eating, but can be applied to any activity one indulges in.
