FIL: Nagtataglay ng malaking kabuluhan, silbi, o halaga; hindi maaaring ipagsawalang-bahala.
EN: important, valuable, significant
The grown-up version of 'mahal'. While 'mahal' can be about price or feelings, 'mahalaga' is about value and significance. Your diploma is mahalaga. Your family is mahalaga. Getting 8 hours of sleep is mahalaga. It's the stuff you can't just 'seen zone' in life.
Mula sa "ma-" + "halaga" (value, price).
ROOT MEANING: price; value; importance
Mas malawak ang sakop kaysa sa 'mahal' (expensive), dahil maaari itong tumukoy sa abstrakto o hindi moneteryong halaga.
