FIL: May kakayahang gumalaw o maigalaw; o di-sinasadyang naigagalaw.
EN: can be moved; is being moved (unintentionally)
'Yung feeling na may multo sa kwarto kasi may gamit na nagagalaw mag-isa. Or when you're trying to take a super steady video but your hand isn't cooperating, so the camera nagagalaw. It's about movement, whether you can do it ("Paki-check kung nagagalaw pa 'yung turnilyo") or it's happening against your will.
From "galaw" (move) with the prefix "na-" and reduplication of the root's first syllable ("na" + "ga" + "galaw").
ROOT MEANING: movement
The "na-" prefix here implies ability or involuntary action, distinguishing it from "gumagalaw" (is moving) or "ginagalaw" (is being moved intentionally).
