Your mom's superpower at the palengke or S&R. 'Bibilhin ko 'yan nang maramihan!' means you're about to stock up on toilet paper, canned goods, or chichirya for the whole barangay. It's the opposite of 'tingi-tingi' (retail/piece by piece). It's also used in grammar class for pluralizing words, the formal version of 'putting an 's' on it.'
From 'ma-' + 'rami' (a variant of dami, meaning 'many' or 'quantity') + '-han' (collective/locative suffix).
As an adverb, it's often used with 'nang' ('nang maramihan'). As an adjective, it describes something as being in a large quantity or for a group, or in grammar, the plural form.
