EN: to glance at
That quick, ninja-level look you give your crush when they pass by. It’s not a stare (*titig*), it’s a peek. It's the 'I'm not looking but I'm totally looking' move. You **sulyapan** the menu when you're on a budget, you **sulyapan** your phone during a boring meeting, and you definitely **sulyapan** the chismis happening two tables away.
From 'sulyap' (glance) + '-an' (locative/directional suffix).
The root word is 'sulyap' (noun, a glance). 'Sulyapan' is the verb form meaning 'to glance at something/someone'.
