EN: carrying something
Like when you show up to a party and someone asks, 'Sino'ng maydala ng ice?' (Who's the one carrying the ice?). It's the person assigned to bring something. It's also that feeling when you're pregnant: 'Nagdadalang-tao.' In a more serious, 'di-masayang-usapan' context, it can be a 'carrier' of a disease.
Compound of 'may' (has/have) and 'dala' (carry/bring). Often written as two words, 'may dala'.
ROOT MEANING: load, baggage, something carried
Can be written as two words, 'may dala,' which is more common. 'Maydala' as one word can feel a bit more formal or literary, or imply a more permanent state of being a carrier.
