FIL: Magkaroon ng kawalan ng tiwala o katiyakan; pagdudahan ang isang bagay o pahayag.
EN: to doubt; to be uncertain of
A synonym for `ipag-agam-agam`, but maybe a little less poetic. This is what you do when your officemate says, "Libre ko kayo," and you immediately check your calendar if it's April Fools' Day. You ipag-alinlangan the offer because it's suspicious. It's the act of raising a mental red flag.
ipag- (causative/benefactive prefix) + alinlangan (doubt, uncertainty)
More common than 'ipag-agam-agam' but still more formal than 'pagdudahan'.
