EN: to dip lightly
It's that gentle dipping motion, not a full-on plunge. Like when you're testing if the pool water is too cold, you just dip your toes. Or when you're on a diet so you only dip the very tip of your french fry in the ketchup. That's dawdaw. Very non-committal.
Implies a light, quick, and often repeated action, distinct from 'sawsaw' (to dip and swirl) or 'lubog' (to submerge completely).
