EN: to touch lightly; to feel with the hands
This is what you do at the ukay-ukay to check the fabric quality ("Prada ba to?"). It's also that gentle, "paramdam" touch that gives you kilig, or a creepy touch that makes you say "Don't me." Context is everything. It's a touch with intention.
Can have a gentle, curious connotation or a negative, inappropriate one depending on the context.
