EN: to poke; to nudge (with a finger)
The OG 'poke' feature, way before Facebook. It's that subtle (or not-so-subtle) finger-jab you give someone to get their attention, usually when you want to share some chismis in a quiet room. 'Psst!' in physical form.
From 'kuhit' (a poke) + '-in' (object-focus verb suffix).
Implies using a finger or a small, thin object (like a stick) to poke, prod, or pick at something.
