EN: to be engrossed
It's that feeling when you start watching one episode on Netflix at 10 PM and suddenly it's 4 AM. You got so into it, you lost track of time. That's 'mawili'. It's what happens when you discover a new K-drama, a good book, or you're just really, *really* into the chismis your friend is telling you.
From 'ma-' (potential/abilitative prefix) + 'wili' (fondness, interest).
Can describe both getting lost in an activity and developing a fondness for a place or person.
