EN: to go up on; to climb on
What your mom yells at you not to do on the new sofa. "Huwag kang **umakyat** diyan!" It's also what you do when you need to change a lightbulb, or when the floodwaters are rising and the only safe place is the roof. From climbing trees to climbing the corporate ladder, it all starts with sampa.
Can be used literally (climbing a physical object) or figuratively (e.g., "sumampa sa kasikatan" - to rise to fame). Common forms are sumampa (past), sumasampa (present), sasampa (future).
