EN: to sue, to file a complaint
The ultimate 'I'll see you in court!' move. When a chismis escalates, a contract is breached, or someone owes you a huge amount of money and won't pay up, this is the nuclear option. It's what happens when 'mag-usap tayo' fails and you bring in the lawyers. Think Raffy Tulfo in action, but the legal, official version.
From Spanish 'hablar' (to speak), which evolved to mean legal pleading or filing a suit in this context.
The object-focused form is 'ihabla'.
