EN: to eat all together; for a group to eat
This is what your Lola shouts when the handaan is ready. It's the plural command form of "kain," basically telling everyone, "Alright, squad, let's feast!" It's the opposite of that sad desk lunch you have at work.
From 'mag-' (plural actor-focus verb prefix) + '-si-' (plural infix) + 'kain' (eat).
ROOT MEANING: act of eating; a meal
The '-si-' infix indicates that the action is performed by multiple subjects simultaneously or as a group.
🇵🇭 Magsikain na tayo, bago pa lumamig ang pagkain!

🇵🇭 Pagkatapos ng pulong, inanyayahan silang lahat na magsikain.
