FIL: Isang anyo ng pandiwa na katumbas ng 'tikman', na tumutukoy sa pag-alam o pagsubok sa lasa ng isang bagay, kung minsan ay may diin sa masusing paglasa.
EN: to taste something (emphatic/repeatedly)
This is the slightly more formal or intense cousin of 'tikman'. If 'tikman' is 'have a taste,' 'tikmanin' is more like 'go on, evaluate the flavor profile.' It's what a chef might say. Or, in a dramatic teleserye: 'Hayaan mong siya ang tumikman ng sarili niyang lason!' (Let him be the one to taste his own poison!). It adds a bit of flair.
While often interchangeable with 'tikman', 'tikmanin' can sometimes feel more literary, formal, or emphatic.
