EN: ignorance, lack of knowledge
This is the state of being 'clueless' or 'living under a rock'. It's not about being stupid, but about not knowing something. Like when your friend doesn't know the latest trending meme, or when someone genuinely asks "Sino si Taylor Swift?" That's kamangmangan in action. It’s the opposite of being a ‘woke’ netizen.
From "ka-" + "mangmang" + "-an", a common Filipino nominal affixation pattern to denote a state or quality.
Can have a strong, sometimes judgmental connotation, implying a preventable lack of knowledge.
