EN: is looking for; is searching
The official state of being for everyone on a BPO graveyard shift (looking for a reason to live), for someone scrolling through job sites ('naghahanap ng work'), or for your tita at a family gathering ('naghahanap ka na ba ng jowa?'). It’s the perpetual search for something, whether it’s your keys, a stable job, or the will to get up in the morning.
ROOT MEANING: search; thing being looked for
A very common verb. The 'ha-' is the reduplication of the first syllable of the root 'hanap', indicating the present tense.
🇵🇭 Naghahanap ako ng bagong apartment na malapit sa opisina.
