EN: in a questioning manner; interrogatively
That tone you use when you're not really asking, but you're *totally* asking. It's the "Saan ka galing?" look from your mom, or the way your voice goes up at the end of a sentence when you're skeptical. "Uuwi ka na raw?" (said in a `patanong` way). It's the official tone of Mariteses everywhere.
From `pa-` (adverbial prefix) + `tanong` (question).
