EN: to wage war against
This is the ultimate `makipag-away`. We're talking large-scale, organized conflict. Armies, nations, factions. It's what happens when diplomacy fails spectacularly. While it literally means war, Filipinos also use it hyperbolically for any major, all-out conflict, like a corporate war between two rival companies or a full-blown family feud that spans generations.
From `maki-` (social prefix) + `pag-` (action prefix) + `digma` (war).
More formal and grander in scale than 'makipag-away'. It refers to war. 'Makipagdigmaan' is a variant that emphasizes the state or process of being at war. 'Makipagdigma' can be seen as the act of initiating or engaging in that war.
