/PI-hit/
FIL: Ang pag-ikot o pagpapaikot ng isang bagay tulad ng susi, seradura, o anumang hawakan.
EN: a turn
That little twist you give to a doorknob, the volume dial on an old radio, or the key in the ignition. That's a pihit. 'Isang pihit lang, bukas na ang pinto.' (Just one turn, and the door is open.) It's a small action with a big result, kind of like finally deciding to unfriend that toxic person on Facebook. One little click, one little pihit of the virtual knob, and peace is restored.
Often used as a noun, but is the root for verbs like 'pihitin' (to turn/twist something).
