EN: to shout out involuntarily
When your favorite K-pop group announces a Manila concert. When you see a cockroach fly towards you. When you win the grand prize in the office raffle. It's that sudden, uncontrollable shout that just bursts out of you before you can even think.
ROOT MEANING: shout; yell; scream
The prefix 'mapa-' indicates the action is involuntary or caused by an external stimulus, distinguishing it from 'sumigaw' (to shout intentionally).
