@pxrplehxzeee @_kirdiii In the context my mom uses it, means things, usually personal items laying around the place. I don't really have much reference points outside of her.

@Mrunknown2026J It’s all about context tbh You can say: I have my own kuhnumunus Meaning: I have my own children Or You can say: dah boy/gyal is a kuhnumunu Meaning: that person is without reason or beggy beggy or idiot

Bcuz how to u even describe what a kuhnhmunu is without using the word?
The western synonyms don't even capture it fully.
