EN: to devour; to strike hard
The official verb of Pinoy fiestas and buffets. It's not just 'to eat' (kain), it's to attack the lechon, crabs, and everything on the table with gusto. 'Tara, lantakan na natin 'to!' is the battle cry before a feast. It can also mean to hit something hard, but let's be real, we use it for food 99% of the time.
This is an object-focus verb. The command form is 'Lantakan mo!' (Devour it! / Hit it!). It has two main meanings: eating voraciously and hitting forcefully.
🇵🇭 Huwag kang mahiya, lantakan mo na ang mga handa.
🇺🇸 Don't be shy, devour the food that's prepared.
🇵🇭 Nais niyang lantakan ng martilyo ang sirang pinto.
🇺🇸 He wants to strike the broken door with a hammer.
