FIL: Ang kilos ng pagiging marumi o ang pagdumi ng isang bagay. Ito rin ay tumutukoy sa pisyolohikal na proseso ng paglabas ng dumi mula sa katawan.
EN: to become dirty; to defecate
Two meanings, one vibe: messiness. First, it's when your white shirt gets a coffee stain. "Hala, dumumi!" Second, it's the more... *biological* meaning. The polite way your tita asks the toddler, "Gusto mo bang dumumi?" instead of saying "Jumejebs ka na ba?" It's the universal code for "nature calls."
From `dumi` (dirt, feces) + `-um-` (actor-focus infix).
The context usually clarifies whether it means "to become dirty" or "to defecate". The latter is a common, slightly formal/polite way to refer to the act.
