EN: Be quiet! / Shut up!
The ultimate Filipino parent/teacher weapon. Can range from a gentle 'ssshhh, tumahimik na kayo' in a library, to a thunderous '**TUMAHIMIK!**' that can stop a rampaging carabao. The tone is everything. It's the verbal equivalent of a mute button you wish you had for real life.
This is the command form of the verb 'tumahimik'. The exclamation point is crucial for its function as a command. The plural form is 'Tumahimik kayo!'.
🇵🇭 Tumahimik! May natutulog!
🇺🇸 Be quiet! Someone is sleeping!
🇵🇭 Sabi ng guro, 'Tumahimik kayo kung ayaw ninyong mapalabas!'
