FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang tao na may labis na gana sa pagkain; matakaw.
EN: gluttonous; voracious
We all have that one friend who turns into a different person at a buffet. That's 'masiba'. It's beyond 'gutom' (hungry); it's a state of being where you inhale food like a vacuum cleaner. It's seeing the lechon and planning your attack, strategy, and how to get a second plate without anyone noticing. It's the spirit animal of anyone who's ever said, 'unli-rice, please.'
From 'ma-' (prefix indicating quality) + 'siba' (gluttony, voracity).
ROOT MEANING: gluttony; voracity
Often used with a slightly negative or humorous connotation, similar to 'matakaw'.
