EN: called (on the phone)
The past tense of making a phone call. This is what your parents did before 'nag-chat,' 'nag-DM,' or 'nag-video call.' If someone says they 'tumelepono,' it has a slightly formal, almost vintage vibe, like they used a landline with a curly cord.
From Spanish 'teléfono'. The verb is formed with the '-um-' infix.
Past tense of the verb 'to call'. The more common, modern equivalent is 'tumawag'.
