EN: to say something; to tell
The verb for when you just gotta let it out. 'Ano'ng gusto mong sabihin?' (What do you want to say?). This is the verb you use for your 'hugot' lines, for confessing your feelings, or for telling your team lead you need a vacation. It focuses on the *message* being delivered.
From 'sabi' (to say) + '-in' (object focus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: statement; saying; what was said
Focuses on the thing being said. 'Sabihin mo ang totoo' (Tell the truth). Contrasts with 'sabihan', which focuses on the recipient of the message.
