EN: to make something stay or last; to perpetuate
This is the 'sana all' verb. It's the desire to make a good moment last forever, like a perfect vacation or the 'honeymoon stage' of a relationship. To magpamalagi is to cause something or someone to stay put. When your favorite tita from the US visits, you might wish you could magpamalagi her here. It's about making something permanent.
From `mag-` + `pa-` + `manatili` (to stay), which is from `man-` + `lagi` (always).
ROOT MEANING: Always; frequently
A more formal term. A simpler synonym is 'panatilihin'.
