EN: to glimmer; to sparkle intermittently
Ito yung mas cute at mas maraming 'twinkle' kaysa sa 'kumutitap'. Isipin mo yung Christmas lights sa Ayala Triangle, o yung glitter sa makeup mo nung JS prom. It's not just sparkling, it's sparkling with *extra effort*.
Reduplication of "kutitap" (sparkle), with the infix "-um-".
Often used in poetry, songs, and descriptive writing to evoke a sense of wonder.
