EN: to consume; to use up; to exasperate
Has two flavors. 1) The literal one: what you do to a whole tub of ice cream after a breakup ('kinunsumo ko lahat'). 2) The emotional one: what your slow internet connection does to your patience. It's that feeling of being drained, either of resources or of your will to live. 'Nakukunsumi ako sa'yo!' is the Pinoy version of 'You're testing me.'
From Spanish 'consumir' (to consume).
The meaning shifts based on context, from literal consumption of goods to the emotional 'consumption' of one's patience.
