EN: to find fault with; to point out mistakes
This is being that person who's always correcting grammar, pointing out a tiny flaw in a project, or saying 'Actually...' in a conversation. It's the act of being a fault-finder. While it can be helpful, sometimes it just feels like nitpicking. 'Huwag mo akong **mamali**in sa harap ng maraming tao.' (Don't point out my mistakes in front of many people.)
From `ma-` + `mali` (wrong, mistake).
ROOT MEANING: wrong, incorrect, mistake
Often has a negative connotation of being overly critical. The object-focused form 'mamaliin' is very common.
