/ma-nung-KIT/
FIL: Ang pagkuha ng isang bagay, karaniwan ay prutas sa puno, sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng isang mahabang patpat o panungkit.
EN: to get something using a pole
The official verb of every Filipino kid who's ever tried to get mangoes, santol, or aratiles from a neighbor's tree without climbing. You get a long bamboo pole (`panungkit`), maybe with a hook or a net at the end, and you poke and twist until the fruit falls. It’s a skill, a sport, and a core childhood memory.
From `mang-` + `sungkit`. The `ng` assimilates with `s`, becoming `n`.
Specifically refers to the action of using a pole or hook (`sungkit`) to retrieve an object, usually from a high place.
