EN: investigation
This is what happens when your mom asks 'Saan ka galing?' and 'Sino kasama mo?'. It's also what you do when you suspect your partner is cheating and you start checking their DMs. On a serious note, it's the official job of the police, journalists, and every 'Marites' in the neighborhood. The goal: to find the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the chismis.
From 'pag-' (nominalizer) + 'imbestiga', which is a Hispanism from Spanish 'investigar' (to investigate).
A formal term borrowed from Spanish, commonly used in legal, police, and journalistic contexts. 'Imbestigasyon' is a common synonym.
