EN: feeling nauseous, wanting to vomit; feeling disgusted
Two flavors: 1) The physical feeling after eating 'isaw' from the wrong vendor or riding the spiral slide at the perya. Your stomach is doing the cha-cha. 2) The emotional feeling when you see your ex's cheesy new couple photos. It's the ultimate 'eww' or 'kadiri' reaction, making you want to figuratively (or literally) puke.
ROOT MEANING: to vomit; to puke
Has both a literal, physical meaning (nauseous) and a figurative, emotional one (disgusted). Context is key. Not to be confused with its root 'suka' (vinegar), which is a noun with a different stress pattern /SU-ka/.
