EN: vinegar
The lifeblood of Filipino sawsawan. From the spicy pinakurat to the simple white vinegar with garlic and chili, 'suka' is the sour counterpoint to everything rich and fatty. It's what makes adobo adobo, and what you dip your chicharon in. It's the acid trip you actually want.
From Sanskrit śukra ('clear, bright') or through Malay cuka.
The pronunciation /SU-ka/ with stress on the first syllable distinguishes it from `suká` (vomit).
