'Yung biglang nag-hang 'yung video call niyo ng jowa mo sa kalagitnaan ng "I love you". Or 'yung moment na matigil 'yung music sa party tapos narinig ng lahat 'yung chismis na binubulong mo. Awkward! It's when something abruptly stops.
From `ma-` (ability/involuntary action prefix) + `tigil` (stop).
Can be used for both voluntary and involuntary stoppage. `Tumigil` is the actor-focus form (to stop oneself), while `matigil` is often object-focus or involuntary (to be stopped, to happen to stop).
