EN: to attempt (something on someone); to make an attempt on
This is the verb for when someone tries to do something, usually shady. Think of a snatcher trying to grab your phone ('pagtangkaan ang cellphone mo'), or worse, someone making a move on your life ('pagtangkaan ang buhay niya'). It's the action of a 'tangka,' an attempt, and it's rarely for a good reason.
This is a verb in the object-focus, locative form (`-an` suffix). It implies an attempt directed *at* or *on* something or someone. The noun form is 'pagtatangka'.
