/ma-sang-HAP/
FIL: Ang sinasadyang paglanghap o di-sinasadyang maamoy ang hangin o anumang nasa hangin.
EN: to inhale
This is the general-purpose word for smelling or inhaling something. Unlike 'masamyo' which is for nice smells, 'masanghap' is neutral. You can 'masanghap' the fresh mountain air, but you can also 'masanghap' the usok from a jeepney or the unpleasant smell from the estero. It's the act of your nose doing its job, for better or for worse.
ma- (ability verb prefix) + sanghap (inhale, smell).
ROOT MEANING: to inhale, to smell
A more general term for smelling than 'masamyo' (fragrant) or 'maamoy' (can be good or bad).
