EN: a session of light, casual conversation; chitchat session
This is the Tagalog word for your 'chikahan' session with your barkada over coffee or milk tea. It's not a formal meeting, it's not a serious debate. It's just catching up, spilling the tea ('chismis'), and talking about anything and everything. The 'hunta' part is from Spanish 'junta' (meeting), but we made it all about the chika.
From Spanish 'junta' meaning 'meeting' or 'gathering'.
The root 'hunta' is from Spanish but has been fully adopted to mean a casual chat. The -han suffix and pag- prefix turn it into the noun for the act of chatting together.
