EN: to captivate; to capture
This is the ultimate "sana all" verb. It's what your crush does to your heart without even trying. It's the power of a charismatic leader, a stunning performance, or a really, really good story. To mamihag is to capture not just bodies (like a 'bihag' or captive), but attention, hearts, and minds. It's the verb for "I'm obsessed."
From `ma-` (infinitive prefix) + `-m-` (infix) + `bihag` (captive).
Can be used literally (to take captives) but is more often used figuratively (to captivate hearts).
