EN: to respond to; to answer
Basically a synonym for `tugunan`, but sometimes feels more direct, like answering a call or a direct question. When someone calls your name in a crowded mall, you `tugunin` them. When a survey asks for your opinion, you `tugunin` it. It's the act of completing the communication loop.
From `tugon` (response) + `-in` (object-focus suffix).
Verb, object focus. Often interchangeable with `tugunan`, but `tugunin` can feel more focused on a single, direct reply to a call or question.
