EN: borrowing (money); is getting into debt
The official state of being for many people before 'sahod' day. When your friend suddenly becomes extra nice and asks "Bes, kamusta?", they might be umuutang. It's the verb that powers '5-6' lending, credit cards, and the national economy. "Friendship over pag di nagbayad yung umuutang."
From `utang` (debt) with the `um-` infix and reduplication of the first syllable of the root.
Specifically refers to borrowing, usually money, with the obligation to return it.
