FIL: Mariing diinan o tusukin ang isang bagay gamit ang dulo ng daliri o anumang matulis na bagay.
EN: to press with a fingertip; to dot
Ever tried to get your lolo's attention while he's watching TV? You gently idutdot his shoulder. Or when you're putting ketchup on your fries, one meticulous drop at a time? 'Yan ang pag-dutdot. It's also what you do to your phone screen when you're 'seen-zoning' someone. A very specific, targeted poke.
ROOT MEANING: tap; poke
Often implies a gentle but firm and repetitive poking or pressing action. Can also mean to apply something in dots.
