EN: a light tap or knock on the head
That playful little tap on the head your lola gives you when you're being 'makulit' (pesky). It's not a full-on 'batok' (hit on the nape), more like a 'kutusan' but gentler. It's a gesture of affectionate correction, like, 'You're being silly again.'
Can also be used as a verb (dinukdok).
🇵🇭 Isang dukdok ang natanggap niya mula sa kanyang kuya.

🇵🇭 Dinukdok niya nang bahagya ang ulo ng kapatid niyang natutulog.
