EN: regarding, about, concerning
This is the formal way of saying 'about.' It's the word you use in your thesis paper, a legal document, or when you're trying to sound super serious in an email to your boss. 'Ang email na ito ay patungkol sa ating team building...' is the corporate way of saying 'Hey, about the team building...'
ROOT MEANING: about, regarding, concerning
Often used interchangeably with 'tungkol sa.' 'Patungkol' feels slightly more formal and is often followed by 'kay' (for people) or 'sa' (for things/places).
