EN: to nag; to scold; to talk incessantly
This is the official term for your mom's 'sermon' when you get home late or your room is a mess. It's not just talking; it's a non-stop, high-volume stream of consciousness about everything you're doing wrong. From 'bunganga' (a slightly rude word for mouth), it's basically weaponizing your mouth.
ROOT MEANING: mouth (impolite); snout; orifice
Carries a negative, often annoying or irritating, connotation. Implies loud, nagging talk.
🇵🇭 Tigilan mo na ang pagbubunganga at wala namang mangyayari diyan.
🇺🇸 Stop your nagging, nothing will come of it.
🇵🇭 Kapag hindi ka naglinis, magbubunganga na naman si nanay.
🇺🇸 If you don't clean up, mom will start nagging again.
