EN: to take a picture of (a specific subject)
Ito 'yung "Picturan mo ako!" moment. The focus is on a specific person or object. While 'retratuhan' is for the whole barkada with the background, 'retratuhin' is for your solo profile pic. It's more direct, more focused on the subject. "Bes, retratuhin mo ako, 'yung pang-profile pic ang dating."
From Spanish 'retrato' (portrait). The verb is formed with the suffix '-in'.
See usage notes for 'retratuhan'. This verb implies a direct object as the focus of the photograph.
