This is the official feeling of 'petsa de peligro'—that week before payday when your budget is screaming for help. When your funds, patience, or even time 'mangapos', it means you're running dangerously low and about to run out. It's the state of being 'kinakapos'.
ROOT MEANING: lacking; insufficient; short
Often used in the context of finances, resources, or time. The form 'kinakapos' (present progressive) is very commonly used to describe the state of being short on funds.
