FIL: Ang akto ng pag-akit sa isang tao na gumawa ng isang bagay na karaniwang mali o hindi kanais-nais; maaari ring tumukoy sa mapaglarong pagbibiro.
EN: temptation; teasing
This is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it's temptation—'yung extra rice na 'di mo dapat kainin pero kinain mo pa rin. On the other hand, it's playful teasing, like when you 'ship' your two single friends. "Ayieee!" is the official soundtrack of panunukso. It's lighter than 'panunudyo'.
From `pan-` + `tukso` (temptation, tease).
