EN: denial
This is the 'No!' in noun form. It's what happens when you apply for a visa and get a rejection letter. It's your friend's reaction when you ask to borrow money for the fifth time this month. In hugot terms, it's the painful act of someone saying 'friends lang tayo' when you confess your feelings.
From `pagka-` (act/manner of) + `tanggi` (to deny, to refuse).
Often used interchangeably with 'pagtanggi'. 'Pagkatanggi' can sometimes emphasize the manner or quality of the denial itself.
