kinesgan
English: Translation
made stronger; made louder; intensified
English: Definition
Indicates that an affected object, sound, action, or force has been increased in strength, loudness, pressure, or intensity.
Example Sentence
Kinesgan pa yo bosol.
English: Example Sentence
“The push was made stronger.” / “More force was applied to the push.”
Notes
Part of speech: resultative/perfective verb
Morphology: Resultative or perfective formation built upon kesgan, ultimately from √KESEG + -an.
Examples:
Kinesgan ko na baga.
“I already made it stronger/louder, you know.”
Notes: The form profiles the accomplished increase in intensity, not necessarily whether the increase was intentional. For explicit intentionality, compare pinakesgan; for inadvertence, compare nakesgan.
