EN: friction
It's the sound your slippers make on the floor when you're trying to sneak into the kitchen for a midnight snack. It's also what you do to a matchbox to get that fire started for your katol (mosquito coil). In relationships, 'kiskis' is that constant, low-level friction with your partner about where to eat.
Can be used as a noun (the act/sound of rubbing) or as a root for verbs like 'ikiskis' (to rub something against a surface) or 'magkiskis' (to rub against each other).
