FIL: Ang makaranas ng pagiging angkop o mabuting epekto mula sa isang bagay tulad ng gamot, pagkain, o lugar. Ito ay ang pandiwa kung saan ang isang tao ang tumatanggap ng aksyon ng 'hiyang'.
EN: to find something compatible; to have a positive reaction to
Same vibe as 'mahiyang', but this is more about your *experience*. It's the "Eureka!" moment for your body. "Sa wakas, nahiyangan ko rin ang gatas na ito!" (Finally, I've found this milk to be compatible!) It's the successful conclusion of a trial-and-error period, whether with a new shampoo or a new province to live in.
Focuses on the person as the subject experiencing the compatibility. 'Mahiyang' can be more general, while 'mahiyangan' emphasizes the person's positive experience with the object/place.
