/ti-KIM/
FIL: Ang akto ng pagsubok sa lasa ng isang maliit na bahagi ng pagkain o inumin.
EN: A taste; a sample
The national sport of the Philippines, especially in kitchens and fiestas. It's that 'free taste' you do before committing to a full plate. 'Patikim nga!' is the magic phrase that unlocks a spoonful of adobo, a sip of sinigang, or a piece of chicharon. It's a gesture of sharing, a quality control check, and sometimes, a full meal in itself if you're shameless enough.
The verb form is 'tikman' (to taste).
