EN: to boast to someone; to show off to
This is what you do when you post your new iPhone, your travel pics from Europe, or your Starbucks planner on social media. It's the verb form of "flexing." You're not just being proud (`ipinagmamalaki`), you're actively showing off *to* someone (`pinagyayabangan`). It's the "Sana all" that you cause, not the one you feel.
From `pag-` (action prefix) + `yabang` (arrogance, boastfulness) + `-an` (locative/directional suffix).
ROOT MEANING: arrogance; boastfulness
The object of this verb is the person being boasted to. To boast *about* something, you'd use 'ipagyabang'.
🇵🇭 Huwag mong pagyabangan ang iyong mga kaibigan sa bago mong kotse.
🇺🇸 Don't boast to your friends about your new car.
🇵🇭 Palagi niya akong pinagyayabangan tungkol sa kanyang mga mamahaling gamit.
🇺🇸 He always shows off to me about his expensive things.
