FIL: Nagkakaroon ng kakayahang kumilos o igalaw ang isang bagay, bahagi ng katawan, o posisyon.
EN: is able to be moved
That feeling of relief when your leg was asleep (naninigas) and you can finally wiggle your toes again. 'Yes, naigagalaw ko na paa ko!' Also applies to that one stubborn screw on your new furniture that you can finally turn. It's about overcoming resistance to motion.
From 'i-' (causative prefix) + 'galaw' (move) with '-na-' and repetition for progressive aspect.
ROOT MEANING: movement
The 'na-' prefix here indicates ability or potential. 'Naigagalaw' means 'is able to be moved' or 'can be moved.'
