EN: to clarify; to make clear
What you tell your partner after a vague, one-word text reply. 'Ano'ng 'K'? Palinawin mo nga.' It's the act of demanding clarity, whether it's about a blurry photo, a confusing instruction from your boss, or the status of your 'M.U.' (mutual understanding).
From 'pa-' (causative prefix) + 'linaw' (clear) + '-in' (object focus suffix).
Used for clarifying information, instructions, feelings, or even physical things like water or a picture.
