EN: to have someone/something checked (by a professional)
This is the adulting version of 'patingin'. It's not about being nosy; it's about being responsible. When your cough lasts for three weeks, your mom says, "Mag**patingin** ka na sa doktor!" It means to get yourself checked out. Also works for cars ("Ipatingin mo na 'yan sa mekaniko"). It's the verb for seeking an expert opinion when you know something is wrong.
From pa- (causative prefix) + tingin (look/check). The 'pa-' prefix here indicates having an action done by someone else.
The actor-focus form is 'magpatingin' (to go get oneself checked). The object-focus form is 'ipatingin' (to have something checked by someone).
