EN: to differ from each other (plural)
This is the formal way of saying 'magkaiba sila.' It's for when you're comparing your ex to your current flame, or when you realize your political views and your tita's are worlds apart. It emphasizes that *they* (plural) are the ones who are different from each other. It has a slightly old-fashioned, literary vibe.
The prefix 'mangagka-' is a plural form, indicating that the subjects of the verb are mutually different. It's less common in casual speech than 'magkaiba'.
