EN: to cause surfeit; to be cloying
It's that feeling when you've eaten too much of a good thing, like the 5th slice of cake or hearing the same song on repeat for an hour. It can also apply to people—'yung sobrang sweet na jowa na nagiging 'cringey' na. Anything that's 'too much' can be nakaumay (the more common form).
From `maka-` (causative verb prefix) + `umay` (satiation, fed up).
ROOT MEANING: cloying satiety, palate fatigue
The verb describes what causes the feeling of 'umay'. The more common form used in sentences is 'nakakaumay'.
