EN: to ignite; to cause to burst into flame
This is what you tell your friend to do with their passion, their dreams... or literally, the charcoal for the barbecue. It's about taking a small spark and turning it into a full-blown inferno. Can be used for feelings, too, like 'Huwag mo nang pagningasin ang galit niya,' meaning don't add fuel to the fire.
From `pag-` + `ningas` (flame) + `-in` (object-focus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: flame
Can be used both literally for fire and figuratively for emotions, passions, or conflicts.
