EN: to pierce; to stick into
Like when a hugot line *really* hits you. 'Bes, tumarak sa puso ko 'yung sinabi niya.' It's also what happens when you step on a nail or when Cupid's arrow (or your crush's smile) finds its mark. It's sharp, sudden, and you definitely feel it.
Often used for sharp, pointed objects. Figuratively, it's used for words or feelings that have a deep, sharp impact.
