'Yung feeling 'pag tinapon mo 'yung basura from across the room at pumasok sa basurahan. Swak! **Tama**! Also, 'yung "high" na nararamdaman, either from love (tinamaan ng pag-ibig) or... other things. "May **tama** na ako, pre."
The pronunciation shifts stress to the second syllable /ta-MA/ compared to the adjective /TA-ma/. It's the root word for 'tamaan' (to be hit) and 'tumama' (to hit).
