FIL: Magsawa o maramdaman ang labis na pagkainip o pagkasuya sa isang bagay, lalo na sa pagkain, dahil sa paulit-ulit na pagkonsumo o karanasan.
EN: to be cloyed; to get tired of something
That feeling when you've eaten your 5th piece of lechon and your body just says "STOP." It's the point of diminishing returns for pleasure. Pwede rin sa tao. "Nakakaumay na 'yang mga drama mo, bes." It's when too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing, like hearing the same song on repeat for a whole day on your commute.
From 'umay', the state of being cloyed or satiated to the point of aversion.
ROOT MEANING: cloying satiety, palate fatigue
Primarily used for food, but widely used metaphorically for anything one becomes tired of due to overexposure, such as a song, a topic, or a person's behavior.
