EN: to make someone answer
When your friend is being evasive about who they're texting, you look them in the eye and say, "Hoy, **pasagutin** mo nga ako, sino 'yan?" This verb is about compelling a person to give an answer. It can be a simple question, or it can be about making someone take responsibility. "We need to **pasagutin** the person responsible for this mess." It has a stronger, more direct force than 'pasagot'.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `sagot` (answer) + `-in` (object-focus verb suffix).
The focus of this verb is the person who is being made to answer. It implies a degree of authority or insistence from the speaker.
