EN: to stare at
That moment when you see your crush and you can't help but **titigan** them from afar, hoping they don't catch you. Or when your team lead stares at you during a meeting, and you're not sure if they're impressed or if you just said something dumb. It's an intense, focused look, more powerful than a simple 'tingin'.
Titigan is the object-focus form of the verb 'to stare'. The actor-focus form is 'tumitig'. It implies a more intense and prolonged gaze compared to 'tingnan' (to look at).
