EN: to find abundant; to be blessed with plenty
When you open the fridge after payday and it's overflowing with food, you can say `masaganaan` mo ang laman. It's the feeling of seeing abundance. It's the opposite of 'petsa de peligro' vibes. It's the feeling of having more than enough, whether it's food, blessings, or chismis.
From `ma-` (potential/ability prefix) + `sagana` (abundant) + `-an` (locative/object suffix).
ROOT MEANING: abundant; plentiful
This is a slightly formal and less common verb form. More common is 'masagana ang...' (e.g., 'Masagana ang ani'). This form implies perception or discovery of abundance.
