FIL: Ang pamamaga, karaniwan sa mga mata, dahil sa labis na pag-iyak, kakulangan sa tulog, o alerhiya.
EN: to be swollen (esp. eyes)
The official look after a K-drama marathon, a major "iyak" session over a breakup, or pulling an all-nighter for a deadline. Your eyes go from normal to "puffy." When someone asks "Umiyak ka ba?" and you say no, but your eyes are screaming "namumukto ako!"
From "mang-" + "pukto". 'Pukto' itself is an archaic word for swelling.
Almost exclusively used to describe swollen eyes from crying or lack of sleep.
🇵🇭 Halatang umiyak siya buong gabi dahil namumukto ang kanyang mga mata.
🇺🇸 It's obvious she cried all night because her eyes are swollen.
🇵🇭 Huwag kang magpuyat nang husto para hindi mamukto ang mata mo bukas.
🇺🇸 Don't stay up too late so your eyes won't get swollen tomorrow.
