EN: blazing, flaring up
This is your barbecue grill going Super Saiyan. It’s when a small flame decides it wants to be a bonfire. Can also describe your tita when she finds out you're still single: her anger is naglilingas. It's a fire that's actively and intensely burning.
From "lingas" (blaze, flame) with the "nag-" prefix and "-li-" infix for the progressive aspect.
Often used to describe fire, but can be used metaphorically for intense emotions like anger or passion.
