EN: to stab, to pierce
This is a very direct and violent word. It's what villains do in action movies. But in a less dramatic, everyday context, it's what you do to your straw when you sumaksak it into your milk tea cup's seal. Or when you're trying to plug something into a crowded extension cord. It's the act of forcefully piercing something.
A violent action, but can be used hyperbolically or for mundane actions like plugging in a device. This is the completed action (past tense) form.
