EN: to crave; to salivate (for food)
That feeling when you're on a diet and your officemate opens a box of J.Co donuts. You just sit at your desk, trying to look busy, but inside you're dying. You can only look and **magtakam**. It's the 'sana all' for food.
From 'mag-' (verb-forming prefix) + 'takam' (craving for food).
Almost exclusively used for food. The state of craving is 'natatakam'.
