FIL: Pumatak nang paulit-ulit at hindi tuloy-tuloy; umambon.
EN: to drizzle; to drip intermittently
This is the 'on-again, off-again' of rain. It's not a real storm, just a drizzle that's annoying enough to make you wonder if you need an umbrella. It's like a relationship that's 'pumatak-patak'—not a full-on downpour of love, just occasional drips of attention.
Reduplication of 'patak' indicating intermittent or light action.
The repetition of the root word 'patak' indicates an intermittent or light action, distinguishing it from a steady 'pumatak'.
