EN: looks like; similar in appearance
Yung feeling na nakita mo ex mo may kasamang iba, tapos sasabihin ng kaibigan mo, 'Uy, kamukha mo 'yung bago niya.' Awkward. It's when someone or something resembles another. The 'ka-' prefix here means 'of the same' or 'like'.
From 'ka-' (of the same) + 'mukha' (face).
Often used in comparisons. Can be followed by 'ni' or 'ng' to link to the person/thing being compared to.
