EN: to be humane; to act with humanity
This is what your lola tells you when you're acting like a total monster. It's the ultimate 'check yourself before you wreck yourself' but on a spiritual, human level. It means to act like a decent human being, not some savage who cuts in line or ghosts their Tinder date.
From magpa- (causative prefix) + ka- (relational prefix) + tao (person/human). Literally 'to make oneself be a person'.
ROOT MEANING: person; human being
Often used in a command or appeal for someone to show compassion or act morally.
