EN: to be able to go first; to get ahead
Your superpower during a 12.12 sale. It's the ability to check out your cart before everyone else, or to be the first one in the jeepney to get the best seat. In life, it's about getting that first-mover advantage. 'Sana makauna ako sa pila para sa libreng pa-kape.'
From `maka-` (ability/potential verb prefix) + `una` (first).
ROOT MEANING: first; primary; before
The `maka-` prefix denotes ability or opportunity. 'Nakauna' is the completed form.
