EN: to sue; to file a complaint against
The ultimate threat when someone cuts you in line at the LTO. "Hoy, susuhan kita!" It's the formal, legal way of saying "Isusumbong kita kay Tulfo." It's taking the "away" from the street to the barangay hall or the courtroom.
From Spanish 'caso' (case), with Filipino affixation. The 's' sound is often duplicated in colloquial speech, leading to 'susuhan' as a variant of 'kasuhan'.
ROOT MEANING: case; problem
A colloquial variant of "kasuhan". The perceived root "suso" is incorrect; the actual root is "kaso" (case, complaint).
