EN: female co-sponsor; close female friend
Your mom's official 'chismis' partner. Technically, she's the godmother to your sibling, or your godmother, making her your mom's 'kumare'. But in modern Pinoy culture, it's the term of endearment for your mom's bestie, the Tita who gives you the best Pamasko, and the one who knows all the family secrets. The male version is 'kumpare'.
From Spanish 'comadre'.
The relationship between two women who are co-godparents is called 'mag-kumare'. It is used both as a term of address and a noun describing the relationship.
