EN: can wait; to be able to wait
The ultimate 'hugot' line: 'Love can wait.' It's what you tell yourself when your Shopee order is delayed, when the server in the restaurant is busy, or when you're single and everyone else is getting married. It's the mantra of the patient, or the person trying to convince themselves to be patient. 'Darating din 'yan. Makapaghihintay ako.'
From 'makapag-' (ability prefix) + 'hihintay' (future tense of 'hintay').
Refers to the ability or possibility of waiting. It implies that something is not urgent or that one has the patience to wait.
