EN: blow (of wind/air), puff
The gentle cousin of 'buga' (exhale forcefully). 'Hihip' is the soft puff of air you use to blow out a candle, cool down your hot coffee, or make a dandelion's seeds fly. It's a delicate, controlled gust. It's also what you wish for on a hot summer day: 'sana may hihip ng hangin.'
'Hihip' implies a gentler or more controlled release of air compared to 'ihip' or 'buga'.
