EN: luxury, ostentation, pomp
It's the 'flex' culture. Showing off your new iPhone, your branded bag, or your trip to Amanpulo. It's the opposite of 'simple lang'. Think of those grand fiesta celebrations or debut parties na parang concert ni Taylor Swift sa production value. 'Yan ang rangya.
From Spanish 'rancia', which originally meant 'stale' or 'old', but the meaning in Tagalog evolved to signify old-money pomp and eventually, any form of luxury or ostentation.
Often used with a slightly negative connotation, implying unnecessary showing off.
