You'll also hear majish in the thanks of the very grateful Wenja that you save, hearing things like Tiyi majish charda "You have a big heart" or Majish charda-ha yawdata "You fight with a big heart."
And where does this word come from? PIE *meǵh2 'great, large, big' (note the funny h2 sound is a guttural sound, likely the "Darth Vader sound"), source of Hittite mek, Sanskrit mahi, Latin magnus, and Greek mega. It's also continued directly by English much, with a variant mickle (a Scottish form). So English magni-tude, Mega-man, and much all derive from PIE *meǵh2. Pretty successful word.
Tu sakwan prasti!
