/mag-kwe-KWEN-to/
FIL: Ang pagsasalaysay ng isang kuwento o pangyayari sa isang tao o grupo.
EN: to tell a story
The verbal form of 'spilling the tea.' This is what your chismosa tita does best. From narrating the latest episode of a K-drama to giving a play-by-play of the neighbors' argument, 'magkkwento' is the foundation of all good (and bad) conversations.
From `mag-` (verb prefix) + `kuwento` (story), which is from Spanish `cuento`.
This is a very common colloquial spelling and pronunciation. The formal, standard spelling is `magkuwento`. The double 'k' reflects the glottal stop that occurs between `mag-` and a root word starting with a vowel or 'k', as in /mag-ʔkuwento/.
