EN: to pay attention; to notice
This is what you hope your crush does when you walk past them. It's the opposite of being 'seenzoned'. When you magbigay-pansin, you're acknowledging someone's existence, listening to their 'chika', or noticing their new haircut. Not doing this is the fastest way to get a 'Hindi mo na ako mahal' text.
From 'magbigay' (to give) + 'pansin' (attention).
The verb 'pumansin' is a more common and direct synonym in many contexts. 'Magbigay-pansin' often implies a more deliberate act of giving attention.
