FIL: Ang paggamit ng lahat ng pagsisikap, lakas, at kakayahan upang makamit ang isang layunin o mithiin.
EN: to strive for; to endeavor to achieve
This is the 'work hard, play hard' but mostly just the 'work hard' part. It's the energy you use to get that promotion, finish your thesis, or make your side hustle work. It's the theme song of every OFW and every student trying to make their parents proud. *Pagsikapan* is basically 'hustle' in its purest, most Tagalog form.
Root word 'sikap' means effort or diligence. The affix 'pag- -an' turns it into a verb directing the action towards an object.
ROOT MEANING: diligence; effort; perseverance
This is a verb, often in the imperative or objective-focus form. "Pagsumikapan" is a more formal synonym.
