EN: to reform; to make someone sensible
This is what your parents, a good friend, or a therapist tries to do when you're being 'pasaway' or making bad life choices. It's the verbal equivalent of a gentle (or not-so-gentle) slap to bring you back to your senses. "Hay nako, kailangan na talagang **patinuin** ang batang 'yan!"
From pa- (causative prefix) + tino (sensibleness, good judgment) + -in (object-focus suffix).
Can refer to correcting behavior, illogical thinking, or morals. Carries a corrective, sometimes disciplinary, tone.
