FIL: Hindi sinasadyang sumayad o tumigil sa pag-usad, tulad ng isang bangka sa mababaw na tubig; o biglaang mapaupo o bumagsak.
EN: to run aground; to fall flat (on one's rear)
Two meanings! 1) For boats: when your romantic sunset cruise with bae ends with the bangka getting stuck in the sand because of low tide, it has **napasadsad**. Awkward. 2) For people: when you slip on a freshly mopped floor at SM and land flat on your butt, you've also **napasadsad**. The physical embodiment of 'bagsak.'
From 'ma-' (potential) + 'pa-' (causative) + 'sadsad' (to run aground; to slump down).
Can be used literally for vehicles (especially boats) running aground, or figuratively/literally for a person falling or slumping down heavily.
