FIL: Lagyan ng isa o higit pang patak ng likido.
EN: to put a drop on; to drip on
The act of applying liquid drop by drop. Like when you're using eye drops (`**patakan** mo ng Vyzine`), adding soy sauce to your calamansi (`**patakan** mo ng toyo`), or when a leaky roof starts dripping on your homework. It's all about controlled, small amounts.
From `patak` (drop) + `-an` (locative/directional suffix).
The '-an' suffix indicates that the object of the verb is the thing being dripped upon.
