/ma-u-na-WA-an/
FIL: Magkaroon ng malinaw na pagkaalam at pag-intindi sa kahulugan, layunin, o katotohanan ng isang bagay, ideya, o sitwasyon.
EN: to understand
More than just "to know." This is the "gets ko na!" moment. It's deeper than just hearing the words; it's about grasping the 'why' behind the 'what'. 'Yung tipong finally naintindihan mo na 'yung plot twist ng K-drama or 'yung resibo ng nanay mo. It's the goal of every "We need to talk" conversation.
From 'unawa' (understanding, comprehension). The 'ma- -an' affix turns it into a verb meaning 'to be able to understand something'.
ROOT MEANING: understanding; comprehension
A more formal and deeper synonym for 'maintindihan'.
