FIL: Ang akto ng pauli-ulit at marahang pagdiin o pagturo gamit ang daliri o isang bagay na may dulo.
EN: act of poking or tapping lightly
This is that annoying but sometimes necessary poke. It's what you do to your sleepy friend to wake them up, what you do to your phone screen when it's lagging, or how you get your sibling's attention without talking. It's the physical version of 'uy, psst!'.
ROOT MEANING: tap; poke
Can also mean 'to touch upon' or 'briefly mention' a topic in a discussion. It implies a repeated or light action, as opposed to a single, firm 'tusok' (stab/poke).
