/a-KI-nin/
FIL: Angkinin o kunin ang isang bagay para sa sarili; tanggapin ang responsibilidad o pagkakasala sa isang bagay.
EN: to claim as one's own, to admit
Two main flavors: 1) The 'Dibs!' move. You see that last piece of lechon? 'Aakinin ko na 'to!' (I'll claim this!). 2) The 'It was me' moment. When you finally admit you ate the last of the ice cream or that you're the one who broke the printer. It's about taking ownership, for better or for worse.
From 'akin' (mine) + '-in' suffix.
Can mean to claim ownership of an object ('angkinin') or to admit responsibility/fault for an action ('aminin'), though often used interchangeably in casual speech.
