EN: to extract the juice from; to distill
Like when you're trying to get the tea (the chismis) from your friend's long story. You're not interested in the fluff, just the juicy parts. "Katasin mo na, besh, ano ba talaga nangyari?" It's also literally what you do to calamansi for your pancit canton.
From `katas` (juice, extract) + `-in` (verb suffix).
Can be used literally for juicing fruits or figuratively for extracting information or essence.
