FIL: Ang akto ng dalawa o higit pang tao na paulit-ulit na nagsasampalan o nagpapalitan ng sampal.
EN: act of slapping each other
The iconic scene in every Pinoy teleserye. You know, the one with dramatic music, a zoom-in on the face, and a slap so loud you can hear it from the next barangay. It’s a mutual exchange of high-fives... to the face. Not recommended for conflict resolution in real life, unless you want to go viral for the wrong reasons.
From pag- (nominalizer) + sa- (repetition/reciprocal action) + sampal (slap) + -an (location/reciprocal action marker).
ROOT MEANING: Slap
Implies a reciprocal or mutual action, unlike 'pananampal' which can be one-sided.
