EN: can be used; is being used
When you feel like a tool in a relationship, "Feeling ko nagagamit lang ako." Or more practically, when you find out that old Nokia phone from 2003 still works, "Nagagamit pa pala 'to!" It's all about utility and function, or the feeling of being taken advantage of.
From "gamit" (use, thing) with the prefix "na-" and reduplication of the root's first syllable ("na" + "ga" + "gamit").
Like "nagagalaw," the "na-" prefix implies ability ("can be used") or current state ("is in use"). The negative form "hindi na nagagamit" (is no longer usable/used) is also very common.
