EN: to repair; to fix
The magic word you say to your dad or a 'kuya' when your phone, laptop, or electric fan suddenly dies. It's the act of fixing things, from a leaky faucet to a broken heart (charot!). If you can't 'kumpunihin' it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.
From Malay 'komponi' (company, referring to the Dutch East India Company's repair yards).
Synonymous with 'ayusin'. 'Kumpunihin' often implies a more technical or detailed repair compared to the more general 'ayusin'.
🇵🇭 Kailangan kong kumpunihin ang sirang upuan bago may maaksidente.
🇺🇸 I need to repair the broken chair before someone has an accident.
