EN: to pick up (a signal); to catch (a rumor)
Before WiFi, it meant trying to get a clear radio station. Now, `masagap` is what you do when you overhear juicy chismis from the next table at a coffee shop. 'May **nasagap** akong balita, magre-resign na daw si boss.' (I **caught** some news, they say the boss is resigning.) It's the skill of a true Marites—picking up signals from the airwaves of gossip.
From `ma-` (ability/potential prefix) + `sagap` (to scoop up from a surface, to pick up signals).
Used for both literal signals (radio, TV, wifi) and figurative information (news, gossip).
