EN: what will become of; where will it lead to
The ultimate 'Saan aabot ang 20 pesos mo?' question, but for life choices. It's the question your Tita asks when you say you're quitting your stable job to become a vlogger. '**Pasasaan** ba 'yang pagv-vlog mo?' It's a mix of genuine concern and a hint of 'I-told-you-so' energy.
From `pa-` + `sa` + `saan`.
ROOT MEANING: where
Almost always used in rhetorical questions, implying a negative or uncertain outcome. Often paired with 'ba' or 'pa'.
