/pa-king-GAN/
FIL: Ang ituon ang pandinig at isipan sa isang tunog, salita, o musika; bigyan ng atensyon ang sinasabi ng isang tao.
EN: to listen to
This is more than just hearing; it's the active version. Hearing is the background noise of the neighbor's karaoke, but 'pakinggan' is you actually trying to figure out if they're singing the right lyrics. It's what your parents tell you to do, what your partner wishes you'd do, and what you do with your favorite podcast or that "Marites" with the latest tea. Listen up!
From pa- + dinig + -an. The 'd' in dinig often becomes 'k' and vowels shift in this common but irregular verb formation.
ROOT MEANING: hearing; something audible
The command form is "Pakinggan mo!" (Listen!). It implies paying attention, not just the physical act of hearing.
