EN: to prosecute, to persecute
This is 'pag-usapan' with lawyers and a judge. It's taking a grievance to the next level—the legal level. When someone says 'I'm going to sue you!', this is the verb for it. On a darker note, it can also mean to relentlessly hunt or torment someone, like how your conscience 'persecutes' you after eating the whole cake.
This word has a strong legal or moral connotation. It can mean both legal prosecution and unjust persecution.
