EN: to go home; went home
The magic word every BPO agent, student, and office worker wants to hear at the end of the day. "Tara, umuwi na tayo!" is the battle cry of the tired and weary. It's not just going to a house, it's going *home*. For OFWs, this word carries a universe of meaning and longing. This is the past/imperative tense.
From `uwi` (home/going home) with the `um-` infix.
