EN: to drink
The universal solution to thirst and, for some, to problems. Can refer to drinking water, juice, or your daily dose of meds. But when used on a Friday night ("Tara, uminom tayo!"), it almost always means alcohol. It's the verb that powers hydration and inuman sessions.
From the root "inom" (drink) + infix "-um-".
