EN: to notice; to criticize; to point out
That thing your tita does at family reunions. 'Uy, tumaba ka.' Or when your boss spots the one typo in your 100-page report. It's the act of observing something and then—crucially—saying something about it. It's the opposite of 'seen-zoned'.
Can be neutral (to notice) or negative (to criticize). Context is key.
