EN: to ask around; to make inquiries
This isn't just asking one person. This is going on a full-on investigation. It's what you do when you're looking for the best tapsilogan in the neighborhood or trying to get the latest chismis about your officemate. You don't just ask one source; you 'magtanung-tanong' to get the full picture. It's crowdsourcing information, the analog way.
From the reduplication of the root word 'tanong'.
ROOT MEANING: question
The reduplication implies a repetitive, extensive, or non-specific act of asking.
