EN: to go to the market; to shop at the market
The ultimate weekend chore for many Pinoy households. It's the act of putting on your 'pambahay' clothes, grabbing your reusable bayong, and braving the wet floors and the lively calls of 'Bili na, suki!' to get the freshest produce and best deals. 'Ma, sasama ako **mamalengke** para makabili ng isaw.'
From `ma-` + `palengke`, which is from Spanish `palenque` (stockade, arena).
ROOT MEANING: market
Specifically refers to shopping at a 'palengke' (wet market), not a supermarket or mall.
