EN: to lust after; to covet; to desire intensely
This is that intense "I want it, I got it" feeling, but maybe you *don't* got it... yet. It's more than just 'gusto'. It's the level of desire you have for the last piece of crispy pata, the latest iPhone, or your ultimate celebrity crush. It has a slightly naughty or forbidden connotation, like wanting something you know you shouldn't.
From the root "nasa" (desire, wish), with the prefix "pag-" and suffix "-an" to create a passive verb.
Carries a stronger, more intense, and sometimes negative or obsessive connotation than "gustuhin" (to like/want). The "-an" suffix indicates the object or person that is the target of the desire.
