EN: reference, specification, act of identifying
That moment when someone asks, 'Who finished the ulam?' and all eyes suddenly turn to you. That's a 'tukoy' moment. It's the act of pointing someone out, a direct reference, the opposite of the 'Sana 'di ako mapansin' prayer.
Often used in verb forms like 'tukuyin' (to identify/specify) and 'matukoy' (to be identified).
🇵🇭 Ang tukoy niya ay ang babaeng nakapula.
🇺🇸 Her reference was the woman in red.
🇵🇭 Mahirap tukuyin kung sino ang may sala.
🇺🇸 It's hard to identify who is at fault.
