EN: to smell (like something); to give off an odor
This is what your gym clothes do after a workout. Or what the kitchen does when your tita is cooking adobo. It's the verb for emitting a smell. Unlike 'amuyin' (to smell something), mangamoy is about *being* the source of the smell. 'Bakit nangangamoy usok dito?' (Why does it smell like smoke here?)
From `mang-` + `amoy` (smell, odor).
The verb for something emitting a smell. It's often followed by 'ng' or 'na' to describe the smell (e.g., mangamoy ng isda, mangamoy na bulaklak).
