EN: tipsiness, being high/drunk
Galing sa "tama" na binaliktad. 'Pag may amats ka, 'yun 'yung feeling na lumilipad ka na kahit nakaupo ka lang, o bigla kang nagiging super friendly sa lahat ng tao sa party. Parang 'yung friend mong biglang nag-English with an accent after two bottles of beer. "May tama na."
From the inverted form of the Tagalog word "tama" (hit, effect, correct).
ROOT MEANING: a hit; a strike; a correct guess
A slang term, very common in informal conversations, especially among younger people. The root 'tama' in this context means the 'effect' or 'hit' of a substance.
