EN: to graze, to glance off, to skim
This is the 'muntik na' of hitting something. Imagine a speeding jeepney almost hitting you, but it just brushes against your backpack. That's 'dumaplis'. It's a near miss. In basketball, when the ball hits the rim but doesn't go in, 'dumaplis sa aro'. Sa chismis, when an accusation almost hits you but is really for the person next to you, 'dumaplis lang'.
ROOT MEANING: graze; glancing blow; scratch
🇵🇭 Dumaplis lang sa braso ko ang bala kaya hindi ako gaanong nasaktan.
🇺🇸 The bullet just grazed my arm, so I wasn't badly hurt.
🇵🇭 Mabuti na lang at dumaplis lang ang bola sa kanyang ulo.
🇺🇸 It's a good thing the ball only skimmed his head.
