EN: to fathom, to comprehend deeply
This isn't just 'gets ko na'. To 'tarok' something is to understand it on a soul-deep level. It's when you finally understand your parents' sacrifices, or when you finally grasp a complex philosophical concept after weeks of study. It's the "Aha!" moment on steroids. "Hindi ko matarok ang lalim ng kanyang pag-iisip" means "I can't fathom the depths of his thoughts." It’s a word for hugot lines and deep talks over coffee.
Almost always used in its conjugated forms, such as 'matarok' (to be able to fathom), 'tarukin' (to try to fathom), or 'di-matarok' (unfathomable).
🇵🇭 Mahirap tarukin ang tunay niyang intensyon.
