EN: to engage in
To dive headfirst into chaos. When you **sumabak** sa rush hour commute, you're a warrior. When you **sumabak** sa final exams with no sleep, you're a hero (or just a crammer). It's taking on a challenge, whether it's a literal battle, a tough project at work, or facing the Divisoria crowd during Christmas season. It’s game time!
From 'sabak' (engagement in battle/work) with the actor-focus infix '-um-'.
Carries a connotation of difficulty, challenge, or intensity.
