EN: to love; to like; to desire
This is the more formal, almost poetic version of "gusto" or "mahal". You don't just "maibig" your crush, you "maibig" the idea of a 13th-month pay. It's that deep, soulful kind of wanting. Think classic Filipino love songs, not a text message.
ROOT MEANING: love; want; desire
Often found in literature, songs, and formal speech. 'Gustuhin' is more common in everyday conversation.
