FIL: Isang katangian ng pagiging madaling mapapayag, mapaniwalain, o mahikayat na sumang-ayon sa isang kasunduan, na kung minsan ay sa ikapapahamak o ikalulugi ng sarili.
EN: easily swayed
This is the friend who always ends up paying for everyone's coffee because they're too nice to say no. They're the 'yes man' of the group, easily convinced to agree to a deal, even if it's a bad one. Basically, 'sige na nga' is their life motto, and they often get the short end of the stick for it.
From 'mapag-' + 'ka-' + 'yari' (to finish, to make) + '-an'. The construction suggests being the object or place where an agreement is 'finished' or made.
ROOT MEANING: made of; finished
Carries a slightly negative connotation, implying a lack of assertiveness that leads to being taken advantage of.
