EN: Act of sighing
This is the universal Filipino response to everything. Traffic? *Sigh*. Puno ang MRT? *Sigh*. Boss gives you more work at 4:59 PM? *Sigh*. Finally get to sit down after a long day? *Sigh of relief*. It's the sound of your soul logging off for a second. It's a whole mood compressed into one breathy sound. Hay nako.
Combination of "bunton" (pile, heap) and "hininga" (breath). A "heap of breath."
