EN: pilfering; filching
A direct synonym for 'pangungupit'. It's that sneaky move of taking something small that isn't yours. It's the office mate who 'borrows' your favorite pen and it's never seen again, or taking a handful of free candies when the sign says 'Take One'.
From `pang-` + reduplication of the first syllable `u-` + `umit` (to filch, to pilfer).
Interchangeable with 'pangungupit'. Both refer to petty theft.
🇵🇭 Ang pang-uumit ng gamit ng iba ay masama.

🇵🇭 Hindi niya namalayan ang pang-uumit sa kanyang bag.
🇺🇸 She didn't notice the pilfering from her bag.
