EN: to enrich; to cultivate; to make wealthy
This is the verb form of "invest." It could mean literally making something richer (like adding more ingredients to a dish), but more often it's about developing or improving something. You `pagyamanin` your skills by upskilling, your vocabulary by reading, or your relationship by going on dates. It's the "grind" to level up yourself, your knowledge, or your bank account.
From `pag-` (action prefix) + `yaman` (wealth, richness) + `-in` (object-focus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: wealth, riches, treasure
Used for both tangible wealth (money, resources) and intangible qualities (knowledge, culture, spirit).
