EN: cheerful, joyous, happy-go-lucky
This is your friend who's a human Golden Retriever. They find joy in the little things, like free coffee refills or finding a 20-peso bill in their old jeans. They're the ones who say 'Good morning!' and actually mean it. A matuwain person is the opposite of your 'laging pagod' BPO friend.
From ma- + tuwa (joy) + -in (tendency/character suffix).
ROOT MEANING: joy, happiness, gladness
Describes a person's general disposition, not just a temporary feeling of happiness.
