FIL: Isang pormal na salita para sa matagpuan, makita, o madiskubre ang isang bagay o tao, kadalasan nang hindi sinasadya.
EN: to find, to discover, to come across
The formal, dramatic way of saying 'nakita'. It's what you say when you finally find the matching sock after a month. "Sa wakas, ika'y aking nasumpungan!" You don't just find something; you *discover* it, like finding your Jollibee Funko Pop that's been missing.
ma- (potential verb prefix) + sumpungan (to find). While related to 'sumpong' (whim), its usage evolved separately.
More common in literature, formal speech, and songs than in everyday conversation where 'makita' or 'matagpuan' is preferred.
