EN: to oppose, to contradict, to go against
This is your inner "kontrabida" coming out. When your parents tell you to clean your room but you binge-watch Netflix instead, that's you *sumalungat*-ing. It's the classic act of defiance, like telling your TL you can't render OT because you have "plans" (which is to sleep).
Often used in contexts of debate, rebellion, or simple disagreement. The prefix 'sum-' indicates an actor-focus verb in the past or completed tense.
