EN: to discern; to make out
This is the act of trying to see something that's not clear. Like trying to read your crush's 'seen-zoned' message for hidden meanings, or trying to see through a foggy window, or trying to understand your company's new 'unlimited leave' policy (spoiler: it's a trap). It’s about peering intently to figure something out.
From 'aninaw' (translucence, ability to be seen through).
Object-focus verb. "Aninawin mo" means "You try to discern it."
