EN: whose, to whom
The ultimate "marites" question. When you see your friend with a new phone, you don't ask "what," you ask "Kanino galing 'yan?" (Who gave you that?). It's the interrogative form of 'sa' + 'sino', basically asking "to whom" or "for whom" the chismis is about.
From `ka-` + `nino`, a variant of `sino`.
