EN: Big, large
The OG size description. Before 'plus-size' or 'grande,' there was just 'malaki.' It's the size of your Jollibee chickenjoy bucket, your utang sa BDO, and the chance na ma-ghost ka niya.
From the prefix `ma-` (having the quality of) and the root `laki` (size, bigness).
This is the most fundamental and widely used adjective in Tagalog for describing something as 'big' or 'large' in any context, from physical size to abstract concepts.
