FIL: Sadyain na magkaroon ng pingal o sira ang gilid ng isang bagay.
EN: to chip (something); to nick (something)
Why would you do this?! This is the verb for deliberately giving a mug a 'pingal'. Maybe you're an artist creating a 'distressed' look, or maybe you're just clumsy and trying to own it. "Oops, na-pingasan ko." It's the act of creating that little imperfection.
From 'pingal' (chip) + object-focus suffix '-in'.
ROOT MEANING: chipped (on the edge)
A less common verb form. Usually, chipping is accidental ('mapingasan' or 'napingasan'). Using 'pingasin' implies intent.
