When your mom comes back from the palengke and you see bags of veggies, that's 'dami'. When you open your Meralco bill and scream, it's because of the 'dami' of the charges. It's the default Filipino exclamation for 'so much' or 'so many'. 'Ang dami!' can express joy (ang daming pagkain!), stress (ang daming trabaho!), or surprise (ang daming tao!).
Often used in exclamations 'Ang dami!' (So much/many!). Can function as a noun ('ang dami ng tao') or an adjective-like word ('daming tao').
