EN: to bicker, to squabble
This is 'magtalo' level 2.0. It’s the rapid-fire, back-and-forth arguing you see between siblings fighting over the TV remote or a couple arguing in IKEA about which shelf to buy. It’s less about winning a debate and more about getting the last petty word in.
Implies a more repetitive and often more childish or petty argument than 'magtalo'.
