Ito 'yung ginagawa ng mga chismosa sa kanto. "Uy, umusap na naman si Aling Marites!" Pwede ring kapag biglang nagsalita 'yung aso mo. "Hala, umusap 'yung aso!"
From "usap" (talk) + -um- infix.
ROOT MEANING: Talk; conversation (as a root word)
While it can mean "to talk" in general, it often carries a slightly informal or even gossipy connotation compared to "magsalita". It's also used for animals making noises, which "magsalita" is not.
