FIL: Ang pagsasara ng mga talukap ng mata.
EN: to close one's eyes
'Pikit-mata kong tinanggap ang offer.' (I accepted the offer with my eyes closed). It's what you do when you're about to sleep, when you're making a wish, or when you see something you're not supposed to see and pretend you didn't. 'Pumikit ka, may surprise ako!'
From `pikit` (closed eyes) with the infix `-um-`.
A very specific and common action. The opposite is `dumilat` (to open one's eyes).
🇵🇭 Huwag kang pumikit habang kinukuhanan kita ng litrato.
