EN: to pat lightly; to tap gently
It's that gentle tap you give your friend to get their attention when you see your crush walking by. Parang "psst, bes, andyan na si ano." It can also have a more... adult connotation, like a gentle, suggestive tap. Let's just say it's context-dependent, okay?
Often used to describe a light, repetitive tapping motion. The '-in' suffix makes it a command or an action to be done to something/someone.
