huminga


Explanation:
When you asked for the word "breathe" to be translated it matters in what context this word is used in the sentence:

huminga
(verb -- breathe; as in Breathe clean air. Huminga ng malinis na hangin.)

makahinga
(to breathe; as in I am going to the country to breathe some clean air. Ako ay pupunta sa probinsya para makahinga ng malinis na hangin.)

humihinga
(present progressive tense as in "breathing"; I breathe some salty sea spray or I am breathing some salty sea spray. Ako ay humihinga ng hanging dagat.)

hinga
(is the root word and is the noun -- breath; He has foul breath. Mayroon siyang mabahong hinga.)

hininga
(conjugated word from the root word, also noun -- breath; He has foul breath. Mabaho ang kanyang hininga.)
