EN: fallen; toppled over
"Tumba" is what happens to the Jenga tower when you pull the wrong block. It's you after a long day at work or a night out with friends—"Tumba na ako sa pagod." It's also that feeling when you're so sleepy you could just fall over right where you stand. In street games, it's what you do to the opponent's "lata" in Tumbang Preso.
From Spanish "tumba" (tomb, or from the verb "tumbar" - to knock down).
Can be used as an adjective (e.g., "Tumba ang puno") or a noun referring to the state of being fallen.

🇵🇭 Isang bote na lang, tumba na siguro ako.
🇺🇸 Just one more bottle, and I'll probably be knocked out (fallen drunk).
