EN: to be sentimental; to express hurt feelings
This is the Tagalog for 'mag-emote' or 'mag-hugot' because of hurt feelings. It's when your friend starts their sentence with "Hindi naman sa nanunumbat, pero..."—that's your cue, they're about to magsentimyento. It’s a low-key form of 'magdrama'.
Tagalog prefix 'mag-' + Spanish 'sentimiento' (feeling, sentiment).
ROOT MEANING: sentiment
Implies expressing negative or hurt feelings, often in a passive-aggressive or emotionally charged way. Different from just 'being sad'.
