EN: cheerful; jolly
This is the 'default state' version of 'masaya'. It's that one friend or tita in the group who's always laughing, cracking jokes, and is basically a human dose of good vibes. They're the life of the party, even if the 'party' is just another boring Zoom meeting.
From 'saya' (joy, happiness) + '-hin' (suffix indicating a tendency or inherent quality).
ROOT MEANING: happy, joyful
Describes a person's general disposition or personality, whereas 'masaya' describes a temporary state of happiness.
