EN: to knock over, to cause to fall
The verb of chaos and clumsiness. You accidentally 'itumba' a glass of water on your laptop. A strong gust of wind can 'itumba' a weak tree. In drinking sessions, when someone can't handle their liquor anymore, they get 'itinumba' ng alak (knocked out by alcohol). It's the action that turns something vertical into something horizontal, often with a crash.
ROOT MEANING: fallen; toppled over
Can mean to knock something over accidentally or intentionally. In slang, 'itumba' can be a euphemism for 'to kill' or 'to get someone drunk to the point of passing out'.
