FIL: Ang pagkakaroon o pagganap ng isang pangyayari; maaari ring tumukoy sa materyal na pinanggalingan o komposisyon ng isang bagay.
EN: to happen; to occur; to be made of
This word is a bit of a chameleon. It can mean "to happen," like when you ask, "Anong nagyari?" after hearing some hot `chismis`. But it can also mean "to be made of," like asking, "Saan nagyari ang bag mo?" which sounds weird but means "What is your bag made of?". It's the more formal, slightly archaic cousin of `mangyari`. Think of it as the Shakespearean "What hath transpired?"
ROOT MEANING: made of; finished
As a synonym for 'mangyari' (to happen), it is less common in modern colloquial speech. Its use to mean 'to be made of' is also becoming less frequent, often replaced by 'gawa sa'.
