EN: to need (something); to require
The verb form of "need." It's what you use when you're making a list of things to buy, or when you're telling someone what you require from them. "Ano ang kakailanganin natin para sa project?" (What will we need for the project?). It’s the official verb for adulting and listing down responsibilities.
From `kailangan` (need) + `-in` (verbalizer).
This is an object-focus verb. The thing being needed is the grammatical subject of the sentence in Filipino.
