EN: inheritance; act of inheriting
It's why you have your mom's nose or your dad's temper. It's also the plot of countless Pinoy movies: the fight over the hacienda or the family business after the patriarch dies. Pagmamana can be about getting property (mana), but it's also about inheriting traits, talents, or even debts (utang). It's the ultimate 'like father, like son' or 'mana sa nanay' phenomenon.
From pag- + the first syllable of mag- (ma-) + mag- + mana (inheritance).
ROOT MEANING: inheritance; heritage
Can refer to genetic inheritance (e.g., traits), material inheritance (property, wealth), or even inheriting a position or title.
