FIL: Isang kolokyal na salita para sa kilos ng pagkain ng meryenda na naganap sa nakalipas na panahon.
EN: had a snack; ate as a snack
This is the past tense of 'nag-meryenda,' but with a creative twist. It's like you didn't just have a snack, you *conquered* it. You didn't just eat the turon, you `minandal` it. Sounds more action-packed, like something a tito would say to sound cool. 'Anong minandal niyo?' 'Pancit canton, tito.'
A colloquial/slang past-tense form derived from the Spanish loanword 'merienda' (snack). The standard Tagalog form is 'nagmerienda' or 'mineryenda'.
ROOT MEANING: snack
Highly informal and colloquial. Not used in formal writing. It's a creative verb form of 'meryenda'.
