/mag-tam-PO/
FIL: Pagpapakita ng bahagyang galit o pagdaramdam dahil sa isang maliit na bagay o hindi pagkakaunawaan, karaniwang sa isang malapit na tao.
EN: to sulk; to feel slighted
This is that classic Filipino passive-aggressive move. It's not full-on rage; it's the silent treatment, the subtle cold shoulder, the 'Bahala ka sa buhay mo' whispered under your breath. It's when your jowa forgets your monthsary and you're not mad, you're just... disappointed. That's tampo. 'Magtampo' is the action of initiating this state of emotional cold war.
ROOT MEANING: sulking
Often used between close friends, family, and romantic partners. It implies a relationship where one expects a certain level of care or attention.

🇺🇸 Don't sulk anymore, I already bought you your favorite milk tea.
🇵🇭 Mabilis magtampo ang kapatid ko kapag hindi siya pinapansin.
