This is the active verb form of 'dili-dili'. It's what you do when you're trying to make a big life decision, like whether to accept that job offer abroad or finally break up with your toxic jowa. It's about turning an idea over and over in your mind, weighing the pros and cons until you get a headache or a breakthrough.
From 'dili-dili' (contemplation) + '-hin' (verb-forming suffix).
ROOT MEANING: imagination; contemplation; reflection
A more formal and literary word for 'pag-isipan' (to think about).
