EN: to be able to help; to be helped
The magic phrase you say to the sales associate at SM: "Hi, Miss, baka pwedeng **matulungan**?" Also the thing you wish your friends would do when you're moving apartments instead of just saying "Kaya mo 'yan!"
ROOT MEANING: help, aid, assistance
'Matulungan' can mean both 'to be helped' (object-focus) and 'to be able to help' (potential mood). The context clarifies the meaning. Ex: 'Sana matulungan kita' (I hope I can help you). Ex: 'Sana matulungan ako' (I hope I can be helped).
