EN: to be able to lift or raise up
That feeling of victory when you finally **maialsa** the heavy-ass galon ng tubig onto the dispenser without spilling a drop. Or when your team leader manages to raise the team's morale after a bad week. It's about lifting something, whether it's physical or metaphorical, like spirits or a protest banner.
From Spanish 'alzar' (to raise). The 'ma-i-' prefix denotes ability.
