EN: to tickle each other
The ultimate test of friendship or a relationship. It starts with one person tickling another, then it escalates into a full-blown "kilitian" war. It's fun and games until someone who is "sobrang kilitiin" accidentally kicks you in the face. It’s a mutual, playful act.
From mag- (reciprocal action prefix) + kiliti (tickle) + -an (suffix indicating reciprocal action).
ROOT MEANING: Tickle; ticklish sensation
The 'mag-'-...'-an' construction strongly denotes a reciprocal action done by two or more people to each other.
