EN: to skewer (the item)
This is the verb you use when you're focusing on the *item* being skewered. While `tuhugan` is putting meat *onto* a stick, `tuhugin` is the act of skewering the *meat*. 'Pakisuyo, tuhugin mo na ang mga isaw.' It’s what happens to the hotdog, the marshmallow, or the chicken intestine before it meets the grill.
From `tuhog` (skewer) + `-in` (object-focus suffix).
Verb, object focus. The focus is on the object being pierced by the skewer. Often used interchangeably with `tuhugan` in casual conversation, but there's a subtle difference in focus.
