EN: to get married
The ultimate life-level-up moment (or so they say). It's the verb that launches a thousand food tastings, couturier meetings, and family dramas. When someone asks 'Kailan ka papakasal?', it's the national sport of Titas of Manila.
`pa-` (volitional prefix) + `kasal` (wedding).
ROOT MEANING: wedding; marriage
The prefix `pa-` here indicates a reflexive or volitional action, meaning the subject is willingly undergoing the action of the root word (kasal).
