EN: To have someone feed (fowl/birds)
This is the verb form of delegation when it comes to feeding your feathered friends. When you tell your younger sibling, "Hoy, patukain mo na yung mga manok ni lola!" you're assigning them the task of giving the chickens their meal. It's the causative form of "tukâ" (peck).
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `tukâ` (peck) + `-in` (object-focus suffix). "To cause to be fed by pecking."
Different from `pakainin` which is more general. `Patukain` specifically implies the animal pecks its food.
