EN: dipping (of food into a sauce)
That satisfying moment when you repeatedly dip your chicharon into the vinegar. It's not just a single dip ('sawsaw'), it's a dedicated, rhythmic dipping session. Think of it as giving your food a little bath in flavor before you eat it.
ROOT MEANING: to nibble
Often confused with 'pagsawsaw', which is a single act of dipping. 'Pagtitiltil' implies a repeated action.
