EN: to die (plural); for many to die
This is the plural form of 'dead.' Not just one person, but a group. Think the ending of a Shakespearean tragedy, or what happens to your houseplants when you go on a two-week vacation. 'Namatay' is for one, 'nangamatay' is for many. It’s a word used for epic-level failures, like when your whole team gets wiped out in Mobile Legends. 'Nangamatay na naman tayong lahat!'
From `mang-` + `ka-` + `patay` (dead). The `ka-` infix often implies a collective or group action/state.
The subject is always plural. It implies a collective or widespread death.
