Usage Note
Magsandok is the actor-focus mag- form of sandok, used when the person doing the ladling is the grammatical subject. Sandok refers to the ladle or serving spoon itself, so magsandok implies both the tool and the action of portioning soup, stew, or rice at mealtimes; the object-focus form sandukin foregrounds the food being scooped.
