FIL: Ang pagsimulang gumana o gumalaw ng isang makina, sasakyan, o anumang mekanismo.
EN: to run; to function (for a machine)
The opposite of 'ayaw gumana.' It's the sweet sound of your old aircon finally kicking in, the motorcycle starting on the first try, or the WiFi router blinking green again. When something 'umandar', it's working as it should. It can also be used for plans: 'Umandar na ang plano natin!' (Our plan is now in motion!).
From Spanish 'andar' (to walk, to go).
ROOT MEANING: running state (of a machine); function
Primarily used for machines, engines, and appliances. Can also be used figuratively for plans or processes.
