FIL: Ang akto ng panliligaw o pagpapakita ng romantikong interes sa isang tao.
EN: to court; to woo
This is old-school Pinoy flirting, a level up from "paramdam." It's the act of making your move, the "panliligaw" itself. While 'ligawan' is more common, 'digahan' has a more classic, almost theatrical vibe, like something you'd hear in a harana. "Digahan mo na, baka maunahan ka pa ng iba!"
From 'diga' + '-han' suffix. 'Diga' possibly from Spanish 'diga' (tell/speak), implying speaking words of love.
A more colloquial or dated term for 'ligawan'.
