EN: to refute; to deny; to prove false
This is the "Objection, your Honor!" move in a conversation. It's when you actively debunk a chismis or a false accusation. Someone says, "Uy, may bago ka daw jowa?" and you reply with a detailed presentation of your single, lonely life to prove them wrong. That's `pasinungalingan`. It's not just denying; it's presenting your counter-evidence.
From pa- + sinungaling (liar). The verb form means to make something (or someone) out to be a lie (or a liar).
This is a verb, often seen in its infinitive or conjugated forms. The root word `sinungaling` means liar.
