EN: to be stabbed
This is what happens in teleseryes when a character is about to reveal a big secret. It's the ultimate "Oops, you know too much" move. In real life, it's what you hope doesn't happen when you walk down a dark eskinita. It's the verb form of getting a very, very, very unwanted and pointy "poke."
From `ma-` (potential verb prefix) + `saksak` ("stab").
This is the potential/abilitative form, meaning 'to be able to be stabbed' or 'to accidentally get stabbed'. It's often used in the passive voice (e.g., 'nasaksak' for past tense).
