EN: observing, spying on
This is the Marites starter pack. When you're trying to get the latest chismis about your neighbor, you're 'namiminto'. It's like being a low-key private investigator, but your only client is your own curiosity. Your target? The 'kapitbahay na may bagong kotse' or 'yung ex na may bago nang jowa'.
This verb implies a sense of secrecy or stealth in the act of observing, similar to 'spying' or 'peeking'.
