The verb that signals you're officially "tita-fying" or "adulting". When you spend a weekend choosing, washing, and hanging up new drapes, you're not just decorating, you're 'nagkukurtina'. It's also the action you do at night to tell the chismosa neighbor, "The show is over."
From `mag-` (verb prefix) + `kurtina` (curtain), from Spanish `cortina`.
ROOT MEANING: curtain
A very direct and literal verb.
