EN: Exactly like this
The ultimate 'copy-paste' in conversation. When you're showing someone a dance move, a recipe, or how your boss looked at you, and you want to be precise. 'No, no, not like that... like THIS.' It's for when 'ganito' (like this) isn't specific enough. 'Ganitung-ganito 'yung itsura ng aso ko nung iniwan ko siya sa bahay.'
Reduplication of 'ganito' (like this) with the linker '-ng'.
Used for emphasis to mean 'exactly like this,' often accompanied by a physical demonstration.
