dude all the definitions of tangina in this website is wrong except for one. what it really means is- the word "tangina" is derived from the full word "putangina" which means "puta (whore/slut)" and "ina (mother)". when the word putangina is directly translated into english, it's "motherfucker". However, though it can be used in the same context in how english speakers use motherfucker, the word "putangina/tangina" is used as a vulgar expression in context similar to "fuck you" in english. For example:

hope this helps clarify things. we also change its spellings based on how we feel like spelling it. mostly it's just spelled how it sounds. like puta - pota, putangina mo - potaenamo/ potaena mo, etc.
when you're angry: tangina!

in english: fuck!

when you're angry at someone: tangina mo!
in english: fuck you!

when you're surprised: hala tangina! or uy tangina!
in english: what the fuck! oh shit!

when you're sad: tangina...
in english: shit... fuck....

when you're confused: tangina?
in english: what the fuck?

filipino (in context to referring someone's mom; usually used by elders since they take words for what they really mean): putangina ka!
in english: you're a motherfucker!

filipino (in context where you could also refer to someone's mom but you don't really mean it): putangina
in english: motherfucker!

filipino (in context where it's an expression): pota! putangina! tangina!
in english: fuck! fucking hell! fucking shit!

filipino (in context where it's an expression directed at someone): pota ka/ potacca/ potaka/ puta ka! putangina mo/ putanginamo/ putaena mo/ potaena mo/ potaena ka/ potaenaka
in english: fuck you!
