The default setting for most relationships during the pandemic. It's how you admire your crush from across the classroom, or how your OFW parent shows their love. Malayuan is the art of being there without actually being there, powered by video calls, chat messages, and a whole lot of 'miss na kita.'
From ma- + layo + -an.
ROOT MEANING: distance
Can refer to physical distance or a method of interaction. Often used in 'pag-ibig na malayuan' (long-distance love).
