EN: being talked about; the topic of conversation
The tea. The chismis. The main topic in the group chat. When you're the 'pinag-uusapan,' you're either famous, infamous, or someone just posted your old Friendster photo. It's being the 'talk of the town,' for better or for worse.
From `pinag-` + `usap` (reduplicated first syllable `u-`) + `-an`. The progressive aspect of the verb.
ROOT MEANING: Talk; conversation (as a root word)
