EN: to command; to order; to instruct
This is what your mom does on a Saturday morning ("Linisin mo 'to! Hugasan mo 'yan!"). It's what your team lead does when delegating tasks for a project. It’s the power move of telling someone what to do. Not to be confused with ordering food ('umorder'), this is about giving instructions. Being the one to `mag-utos` makes you the boss, at least for that moment.
The `mag-` prefix indicates the actor is the focus. The one giving the command is the subject of the sentence.
