EN: to snatch; to grab at
This is the command/infinitive form. 'Grab it!' It’s what your inner voice screams during a 12.12 sale when the last item is in your cart but you haven't checked out yet. *Sunggaban mo na 'yang opportunity!* It’s about seizing the moment, whether it's a career opportunity or the last slice of pizza.
From 'sunggab' (grab) + '-an' (suffix indicating action on an object).
ROOT MEANING: a snatch; a grab
Used to mean grabbing a physical object or seizing an opportunity.
