EN: well-off; affluent
Not exactly 'Crazy Rich Asian' level, but definitely not 'isang kahig, isang tuka.' These are the people who can afford the extra large milk tea with pearls, order GrabFood without checking the delivery fee, and their aircon is probably on 24/7. They're comfortable, they're stable, they're #blessed.
From `may` (to have) + `kaya` (ability, financial capacity).
ROOT MEANING: ability; capable, can
A polite way to say someone is rich or financially stable, less direct than 'mayaman'.
