EN: act of hissing at each other; group whispering/hissing
This is the sound of 'chismis' brewing. It's when a group of 'Marites' huddle together and start making that "psst... psst..." sound to share the latest tea. It's the human equivalent of a snake convention. It can be to call someone's attention secretly, or more often, to talk about someone who's just within earshot.
pag- + si- + sitsit + -an. The -an suffix here implies a reciprocal or group action.
Implies a group activity, where multiple people are hissing or whispering.
