EN: to wonder about; to be amazed by
This is what you feel when your friend who's always late arrives on time. "Nakaka-**pagtakha** naman!" Or when you see the price of onions and you just have to wonder why. It’s the verb for "Wow, really?!"
From `pag-` (verbal prefix) + `takha` (wonder, amazement) + `-an` (locative/benefactive suffix).
The focus is on the object or cause of the wonder or amazement.
