EN: to jerk; to snap; to flick
It's that quick, sudden flicking motion. Like when you 'saltikin' a rubber band at your classmate, or 'saltikin' an ant off your table. It’s the Tagalog version of a 'yeet', but for small things and with your fingers.
From 'saltik' (jerk, snap).
Refers to a specific, sharp, and quick motion, usually done with the thumb and another finger. The root 'saltik' can also mean 'mentally unhinged' or 'crazy', as in 'May saltik sa ulo'.
🇵🇭 Huwag mong saltikin ang tainga ng kapatid mo, masasaktan siya.
🇺🇸 Don't flick your brother's ear, he'll get hurt.
🇵🇭 Saltikin mo nga ang gagambang iyan palayo.
