to assume one is the topic of conversation; to jump to the conclusion that one is being talked about; to feel "talked about".

This concept assumes a partially overheard conversation as the basis that one is being discussed.

Hat kami magbissala maka bagey ku pasal danda bey moleh lalla, bohoh ley magsabtan ka iya palabey, magtuwi ru ya ley nangis, maka ngahakah tag nggoh-na arapun kami ngalimutan iya, parahal iya ngimbil-hatian ndi-na.

Merely because we were talking with my friend about the girl who went to the imam to see if a marriage could be arranged with that man, and then coincidentally, she happened to pass by [and apparently heard part of the conversation, so] she started to cry and told her mother concerning our maligning her, when in fact she herself only assumed that we were talking about her.

Bang kami magbatuk-batuk, bohoh ya mbal nipalamud, magti ya ngimbil-hati.

If we talk, but he is not made to be included [in our conversation], immediately he thinks we are discussing him.

Ya ru, bang kami magbissalahan pasal tunang kami maka si Amina, magti ya ngimbil-hati na sab.

Likewise, if we are talking about our sweethearts with Amina, she jumps to the conclusion that we are talking about her again already.
