FIL: Ang paulit-ulit at mariing pagdiin o pagtusok sa isang bagay, karaniwan gamit ang daliri o isang matulis na bagay.
EN: to poke repeatedly or insistently
It's that annoying thing your little cousin does—poking you again and again saying "Kuya, kuya, kuya." Or you, trying to get your old phone to work, "dumudutdot" ka sa screen hoping it responds. It’s more insistent than a simple "sundot" (poke) and more irritating than a "pindot" (press). It's the physical version of being makulit.
From `dutdot` (repeated poking) + `-um-` (actor-focus infix).
ROOT MEANING: tap; poke
Implies repetition and sometimes annoyance. Can be used for poking a person, an object, or pressing a button repeatedly.
