FIL: Ang kilos ng paglalagay sa isang tao o bagay sa isang pagsubok upang malaman ang kalidad, kakayahan, o katatagan nito.
EN: testing, trying out, challenging
This is what life does to you right before payday. It's also what your partner does when they ask, "Sino 'yung ka-chat mo?" even though they already know. It's a test, a trial, a challenge to your patience, wallet, or relationship status.
From 'subok' (test, try). The '-in-' infix and reduplication of the first syllable ('su-') indicate the present progressive tense.
Often used in the context of challenges, tests (in school or in life), or trying something new.
