FIL: Ang marahang pagdikit o pagtama sa isang bagay habang dumaraan. Sa metaporikal na gamit, ito ay ang biglaang paglitaw ng isang ideya o alaala sa isipan.
EN: to graze; to brush against; to cross one's mind
The physical version is that awkward moment in a crowded MRT when you accidentally bump into someone (nasagi). The mental version is when the memory of your ex suddenly hits you while you're listening to a specific song (sumagi sa isip). It's a light, fleeting touch—either by a person or a thought.
The verb forms are key: 'nasagi' (physically bumped/brushed against), 'sumagi' (crossed the mind). The root 'sagi' itself is rarely used alone.
