EN: to search for something in a place/person
This is what you do when your mom yells, "Hanapan mo ng asin diyan sa cabinet!" even though you've looked there five times. It's directional searching. You're not just looking, you're looking *in* or *on* something. Also, the act of looking for flaws in someone, as in "Huwag mo akong hanapan ng mali." (Don't look for my mistakes.)
From 'hanap' + suffix '-an'.
ROOT MEANING: search; thing being looked for
Focuses on the location or source of the search. Contrast with 'hanapin' which focuses on the object being searched for.
🇵🇭 Hanapan mo ng pera ang lumang dyaket mo, baka may naiwan.
