FIL: Isang kaganapan, insidente, o anumang naganap.
EN: occurrence, happening, event
The formal way to say 'the tea' or 'the chismis'. When someone asks 'Ano ang pagyayari?', they're asking for the full story, the sequence of events, the 'what went down'. It's the more dramatic cousin of 'pangyayari'.
From `pag-` + `CV` (first syllable repetition) + `yari` (to happen).
ROOT MEANING: workmanship; make; finish
'Pangyayari' is the more common term for 'event'. 'Pagyayari' in this sense is slightly more literary or formal.
