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: motherfucker!
filipino (in context where it's an expression): pota! putangina! tangina!

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

It is short for putang ina which in turn is short for puta ang ina mo. Its closest translation in English is "you son of a bitch!". It is originally a term used to curse someone but, like other filipino curses, it is now used for a variety of other situations such as surprise or amazement.
Tangina mo! Don't ever show your face to me again!
Tangina! That dunk was amazing!
