FIL: Ang tuluyang pagkasunog o pagkaubos ng isang bagay dahil sa apoy.
EN: to be consumed by fire; to be burned down
This is a more dramatic word for "masunog." It's not just burned, it's *consumed*. Like when you forget the sinaing on the stove and it turns into a black brick. "Hala, muntik nang **matupok** ang bahay!" It’s also used figuratively for being consumed by strong emotions, like jealousy or anger. "Huwag kang magpadala sa galit at baka **matupok** ka nito."
ma- (potential prefix) + tupok (burned to ashes)
ROOT MEANING: burnt to ashes; razed
Implies complete destruction by fire. Carries a more intense and formal tone than "masunog."
