EN: to get separated (unintentionally)
The official verb for that panic moment in the mall when you were 5 and couldn't find your mom. As an adult, it's when you lose your friends in a massive concert crowd or get split up from your barkada at a fiesta. It's the accidental, sometimes angsty, act of getting separated.
ROOT MEANING: separate; apart
The prefix 'mapa-' implies the separation was accidental or involuntary, as opposed to 'maghiwalay' which is intentional.
🇵🇭 Sa sobrang dami ng tao sa Divisoria, napahiwalay siya sa kanyang mga kasama.
🇺🇸 With so many people in Divisoria, she got separated from her companions.
