EN: to pretend; to feign
The official verb for "acting lang." When you see your ex with a new partner and you smile and act happy for them, but deep inside you're plotting 101 ways to trip them. Or when you act like you're working hard when your boss walks by your desk. That's you, magpakunwari-ing.
ROOT MEANING: supposedly; seemingly; pretending
Often carries a slightly negative connotation of deception, as opposed to simply 'acting' in a play.
🇵🇭 Huwag kang magpakunwari na hindi mo ako kilala.
🇺🇸 Don't you pretend that you don't know me.
🇵🇭 Nagpakunwari siyang tulog para hindi mautusan.
🇺🇸 He feigned sleep so he wouldn't be asked to run an errand.
