FIL: Ang malakas na pagpalo o pagtama ng isang bagay sa iba, tulad ng alon sa dalampasigan o latigo sa balat.
EN: a strike, a lash, a blow
The sound and action of waves crashing on the shore ('hampas ng alon'). It's also the result of your sibling getting on your last nerve and you finally retaliate with a pillow. It's a forceful impact, whether from nature or from a person who's had enough.
Can be both literal (a physical strike) and figurative (the 'blow' of a tragedy). The verb form is 'hampasin' (to strike something).
