EN: to put a wedge/stopper; to prevent from rolling
Imagine a jeepney parked on a steep hill in Baguio. The driver shoves a piece of wood under the tire. That's sumasagka. It's the act of preventing something from moving when it's not supposed to. In life, it's that friend who stops you from texting your ex at 2 AM. Sila ang sumasagka sa'yo.
A very specific term, mostly related to vehicles and using a 'kalso' (wedge/chock). Figurative use is rare but possible.
