EN: to sigh over something
This is the physical manifestation of "sana all." You see your friend's travel pics and you just ipagbuntung-hininga your empty wallet. It's the "hay nako" sigh. It’s what you do when you see your electricity bill, when your crush posts a picture with their jowa, or when you remember you have work on a Monday. It's sighing *because* of something specific.
ROOT MEANING: breath
A descriptive and somewhat literary verb. It externalizes an internal feeling (like frustration, sadness, or relief) through a sigh, directed at a cause. The root is from the compound 'buntong-hininga'.
