EN: to sue; to file a case against someone
This is the "See you in court!" of Tagalog. When chismis turns into a legal battle, you ipagsakdal them. It's what happens when "mag-usap tayo" fails and you bring in the lawyers. Level up from "Isumbong kita kay Tulfo!"
From i- (object focus prefix) + pag- + sakdal (accusation, complaint).
A formal term used in legal contexts. The person or entity being sued is the object of the verb.
🇵🇭 Nagpasya siyang ipagsakdal ang kumpanya dahil sa hindi makatarungang pagtanggal sa kanya sa trabaho.
🇺🇸 He decided to sue the company for unjust termination.
🇵🇭 Ang pagnanakaw ng ideya ay sapat na dahilan para ipagsakdal ang isang tao.
🇺🇸 Stealing an idea is enough reason to file a case against a person.
