FIL: Suriin nang masinsinan at maingat; magsagawa ng imbestigasyon upang matuklasan ang katotohanan.
EN: to investigate; to examine; to scrutinize
What your girlfriend does to your phone when you're in the shower. It's a deep dive, a full-blown investigation. On a serious note, it's what detectives do, what auditors do to your company's 'creative' expenses, and what you do to the online menu for 20 minutes to find the most 'sulit' meal. 'Kailangan nating **siyasatin** kung saan napunta ang budget.'
From Malay 'siasat' (investigate, inquire), which is from Arabic 'سِيَاسَة' (siyāsa), meaning 'policy' or 'governance'.
Implies a thorough and careful examination, more formal than just 'tingnan' (to look). It suggests an official or serious inquiry.
