EN: to weigh
On a literal level, 'timbangin' is what the vendor does to your chicken at the market. But on a 'hugot' level, it's what you do with your life choices. "Timbangin mo muna ang pros and cons bago ka mag-resign." It's about weighing your options, balancing the good and the bad, whether it's about your career, your love life, or deciding if that extra cup of rice is worth it.
From 'timbang' (weight) + '-in' (verb suffix).
Has both a literal meaning (to weigh on a scale) and a very common figurative meaning (to weigh options/assess a situation).
