EN: to sue; to file a case against; to indict
The legal term for 'I'm telling on you to the authorities!' This is what happens when a simple 'usap tayo' doesn't work anymore and you need to bring in the lawyers. It's the ultimate 'See you in court!' move. Often heard in news reports about corruption or heated arguments between neighbors.
From `i-` (verb prefix) + `sakdal` (accusation, complaint).
A formal, legal term.
