EN: to curse; to put a hex on
This is what villains in teleseryes do. 'Isinusumpa ko, babalik ako at maghihiganti!' It's the ultimate verbal weapon when you've been wronged. Also used hyperbolically when you're extremely frustrated, like when your internet goes out during a final exam: 'Sumpain ka, PLDT!'
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *sumpah, meaning 'oath' or 'curse'.
This is an object-focused verb. The person or thing being cursed is the direct object. The actor-focused form is `sumumpa` (to make an oath or to curse).
🇵🇭 Gusto niyang sumpain ang taong nanloko sa kanya.
🇺🇸 She wants to curse the person who cheated her.
🇵🇭 Sumpain nawa ang sinumang magnakaw dito!
🇺🇸 Cursed be whoever steals from here!
