EN: supposedly; seemingly; pretending
The official word for 'acting lang'. It's when you pretend to be busy when your boss walks by, or when you act surprised by a birthday party you already knew about. 'Kunwari ka pa!' is what you say to a friend who's being pa-humble but is secretly proud. It's the foundation of all childhood 'bahay-bahayan' games.
A compound of 'kung' (if) and 'wari' (it seems).
A very common word to describe pretense or a hypothetical situation.
