FIL: Ang kilos ng pagsisimula ng isang gawain, pangyayari, o proseso, na naganap sa nakalipas na panahon. Ito ang anyong pangnakaraan ng pandiwang 'mag-umpisa'.
EN: started; began
The Genesis of everything. The moment the chismis was born. "Saan ba nag-umpisa ang gulo?" (Where did the trouble start?). It's what you did on January 1st with your new gym membership (and stopped by January 15th). It's the first step of a long journey, whether it's a thesis, a new business, or a complicated love story.
Tagalog prefix 'nag-' + 'umpisa'.
ROOT MEANING: start; beginning
A very common word. Synonymous with 'nagsimula'. 'Nag-umpisa' feels slightly more conversational.
