EN: exclamation mark (!)
The punctuation for when you're being 'marites' (a gossip) or you're just really, really excited! It's the text equivalent of shouting. Use one for excitement ('Congrats!'). Use many if you're really angry or hyped ('Ano na naman 'to!!!'). It adds drama and intensity to any statement.
A phrase composed of `tandang` (a variant of tanda, sign) + `pandamdam` (for feeling/emotion, from `damdam`).
ROOT MEANING: sign, mark, symbol, evidence
