EN: to smell something fragrant
This is what happens when you walk past a bakeshop and the smell of pandesal hits you. Or when your crush walks by and you catch a whiff of their perfume. It's the more poetic, 'pang-harana' version of 'maamoy'. You don't just smell it; you *experience* the fragrance.
ma- (ability verb prefix) + samyo (fragrance, aroma).
Used specifically for pleasant smells. You wouldn't say 'masamyo ang basura'.
