EN: to love (romantically); to court; to woo
The old-school, *harana*-level kind of love. It’s not just 'I love you,' it's more like 'I shall endeavor to win your affection.' It's the verb form of every classic Filipino love song. Less 'Netflix and chill,' more 'tula at dalaw sa bahay.'
From mang- (verb prefix) + ibig (love, like, want).
ROOT MEANING: love; want; desire
