EN: to respond to; to answer; to meet (a need)
This is what you do when your boss emails you 'for immediate action.' It's also what you wish your crush would do to your DMs. From answering a formal letter to finally addressing that 'we need to talk' text, 'tugunan' is all about providing the required response or action. Please tugunan the needs of your jowa.
From `tugon` (response) + `-an` (object-focus suffix).
Verb, object focus. Corresponds to `tumugon` (actor focus). Used for responding to requests, needs, or situations.
