EN: to tease each other (often romantically)
This is a level up from 'magtudyuhan'. 'Magtuksuhan' has that extra 'kilig' factor. It's the 'Ayieee!' moment. It's the playful pushing, the side glances, the inside jokes between two people who are obviously into each other but won't admit it yet. It's the entire plot of a Filipino rom-com.
ROOT MEANING: temptation
Carries a stronger connotation of romantic or flirtatious teasing compared to 'magtudyuhan' or 'mag-asaran'.
