EN: to make an insinuation; to allude negatively
This is the art of throwing shade, the classic 'patama.' It's when your tita posts on Facebook, 'Some people borrow money and forget to pay it back,' and you know it's for you. To 'magparunggit' is to say something without saying it, using hints and allusions. It's the verbal equivalent of a side-eye.
From magpa- (causative prefix) + runggit (a variant of 'dunggit', meaning 'to poke' or 'to allude to').
Synonymous with 'magparinig'. 'Parunggit' often implies a sharper, more critical insinuation compared to the more general 'parinig'.
