Ito yung universal, low-tech na paraan para tawagin ang isang kaibigan sa kabilang kalsada nang hindi isinisigaw ang pangalan niya. The classic "Psst!" It's the human equivalent of a notification ping. Pwede ring bastos, depende sa context at delivery.
This is the completed action (past tense) form. The present tense is 'sumusutsot'. It's an onomatopoeic word. In some contexts, it can be considered rude or a form of catcalling.
