EN: to mold; to shape
Similar to *humugis*, but this one emphasizes using a mold or a pattern. It's what a baker does with a cake mold, or what your parents/school/society tried to do to you. It’s the process of shaping something into a specific, predetermined form. 'Hinulma ako ng hirap' (I was molded by hardship) is a classic line.
Often used for physical molding (clay, dough) or figurative molding (character, personality).
🇵🇭 Ang mga karanasan sa buhay ang humulma sa kanyang pagkatao.
🇺🇸 Life experiences are what molded his/her personality.
🇵🇭 Humulma siya ng paso mula sa luwad.
