FIL: Naglalarawan sa isang gawain na hindi madali o isang estado ng kakulangan sa yaman o pangangailangan.
EN: with difficulty; difficult; impoverished
Two meanings here. First, it's that feeling when you're trying to solve a math problem: 'Medyo may-kahirapan 'tong exam.' (This exam is a bit difficult). Second, it's the more serious, socio-economic reality: 'Isang pamilyang may-kahirapan sa buhay.' (A family experiencing poverty). It's a slightly more formal way of saying 'mahirap.'
From "may" (has/with) + "kahirapan" (difficulty/poverty), from the root word "hirap" (hard/difficult).
ROOT MEANING: difficulty; hardship; poor / difficult
Can refer to the difficulty of a task or the state of being poor. Context is key to differentiate between 'difficult' and 'impoverished'.
