FIL: Isang salitang balbal na nangangahulugang patay, nasawi, o hindi na gumagana.
EN: Dead; croaked; kaput
Slang for "dead." You use this for dramatic effect. "Yung phone ko, nahulog sa inidoro. Tigok na." Or when your favorite character in a series unexpectedly dies: "Hala, tigok si Iron Man!" It's less formal than 'patay' and has a bit of a final, almost comedic finality to it.
Possibly onomatopoeic, from the sound of a gulp or a last breath.
Highly informal and considered slang. Can refer to people, animals, or inanimate objects (like electronics).
🇵🇭 Sa isang iglap, tigok ang langaw na pinalo niya.
🇺🇸 In an instant, the fly he swatted was dead.
🇵🇭 Ingat sa pagtawid, baka ka ma-tigok diyan.
🇺🇸 Be careful crossing, you might croak there.
