EN: to fail; to malfunction; to misfire
That dreaded moment when your laptop freezes during a presentation, or when the car won't start on a Monday morning. That's your device 'nagpapalya'. It's when something stops working as it should. Can also apply to people's plans. 'Nagpalya ang plano naming mag-beach dahil biglang umulan.'
From `mag-` (verb prefix) + `palya` (failure, misfire), from Spanish 'fallar' (to fail).
ROOT MEANING: failure; malfunction; miss
Often used for machines, engines, or plans. 'Pumalya' is a more common synonym.
