FIL: Isang marka o sugat sa balat na dulot ng pagkuskos o paghiwa ng matulis na bagay, lalo na ng kuko ng hayop tulad ng pusa.
EN: scratch (from a claw)
The love language of your cat. One minute you're petting them, the next minute you have battle scars on your arm. It's also what you get from your girlfriend when you forget your anniversary. The mark is temporary, but the memory (and the sting) is forever.
Likely a native Tagalog word.
Specifically implies a scratch from claws or fingernails, as opposed to 'gasgas' which is a more general term for a scratch or abrasion.
