EN: to flirt, to sweet-talk, to show affection
This is your 'diskarte' mode activated. When you kumarinyo, you're laying on the charm thick, like a guy trying to get a girl's number or someone trying to sweet-talk their way out of a traffic ticket. It's the verbal equivalent of a 'landi' move. Think 'How to be you po?' but with more pa-cute.
From Spanish 'cariño' (affection).
ROOT MEANING: affection
Often implies a playful or romantic intent, distinct from general kindness.
