EN: To hammer; to strike; a strike
The sound your neighbor makes at 7 AM on a Sunday. 'Pukpok' is the act of hammering or striking something repeatedly. It's what a carpenter does to a nail, what a judge does with a gavel (but we call that 'pukpok ng maso'), and what your head feels like after a long night out. 'Pukpok ka nang pukpok!' (You keep on hammering!).
Can be a noun (the act or sound of striking) or a verb (to strike).
