EN: Sulking (with an expectation of being coaxed)
This is the Filipino love language of silent treatment. It's not full-blown anger; it's a cold shoulder with a hidden 'Please notice me and say sorry' sign. It's when your partner gives you one-word answers because you forgot your monthsary. The only cure is 'suyo' (sweet coaxing), usually involving food. It's a non-confrontational way of saying "I'm hurt, and you better fix it."
From "pag-" (verbal noun prefix) + "tampo".
ROOT MEANING: sulking
A culturally specific term that doesn't have a perfect English equivalent. It's a mix of being hurt, sulking, and expecting reconciliation. It's almost exclusively used for people you have a close relationship with.
