FIL: Ang maranasan ang pagdaloy ng koryente sa katawan na nagdudulot ng biglaang pagyanig, sakit, o pinsala.
EN: to get an electric shock
That zapping feeling when you touch a faulty appliance or a live wire you weren't supposed to touch. It's the universe's spicy way of telling you to call an electrician. Also used metaphorically for a sudden, shocking realization, like seeing your ex with your best friend. "Parang nakoryente ako nung nakita ko sila."
From "ma-" (involuntary action prefix) + "koryente" (from Spanish 'corriente' meaning 'current').
Primarily refers to a literal electric shock, but its metaphorical use for a sudden jolt of surprise or shock is also common.
