EN: to point a finger at someone accusingly
This is the singular version of `duruan`. It's that dramatic finger-pointing you see in teleseryes. "How dare you!" *sabay duro*. It's more intense than just `ituro` (to point). `Duruin` has that extra spice of accusation, warning, or "ikaw!" energy. It's the physical punctuation to a heated argument.
From `duro` (to point a finger) + `-in` (object-focus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: poke with a finger
Carries a strong connotation of accusation, blame, or threat.
🇵🇭 Huwag mo akong duruin na parang ako ang may kasalanan!
🇺🇸 Don't point your finger at me as if I'm the one at fault!
🇵🇭 Dinuro niya ang magnanakaw habang sumisigaw ng tulong.
