EN: to open one's eyes; to become aware
Literally, it's opening your eyes in the morning. But the real tea is its other meaning: to be "woke." It's when you finally realize the harsh realities of the world—the government, adulting, that your friend is actually a "plastik." Mamulat is the transition from blissful ignorance to painful, but necessary, awareness.
From "ma-" + "mulat".
ROOT MEANING: aware, conscious, enlightened
Has a strong secondary meaning related to social and political awakening.
