EN: will be able to be stopped; can be prevented
Your self-control when you see a 12.12 sale. "Mapipigilan ko ba 'to?" you ask your wallet. This is the future tense of stopping something, whether it's your feelings for your crush, your desire to eat a whole tub of ice cream, or a bus running a red light. It's the ultimate test of "kaya pa ba?"
From ma- (ability prefix) + pi- (future tense reduplication) + pigil (to stop, to control) + -an (locative/referential suffix).
This is the future tense of 'mapigilan'. The root verb is 'pigilan' (to stop something). 'Mapigilan' means 'to be able to stop'.
