FIL: Ang pagmamasid sa paligid nang walang partikular na layunin; ang paglibot ng paningin.
EN: to look around; to browse
This is the official verb for "window shopping." You go to the mall with no money, and when the sales associate asks, "May I help you, ma'am/sir?" you reply, "Tumingin-tingin lang." It's looking without the intention to buy, searching without knowing what you're looking for, or simply observing your surroundings. It's the 'explore' mode of the eyes.
The repetition of "tingin" indicates a casual, non-focused, or repeated action of looking.
