FIL: Ang pagdiin o pag-ipit sa isang bagay upang ito ay mapisa, mapipi, o magkaroon ng marka.
EN: to press; to apply pressure
This word is so old school, it's like a Nokia 3310. It's the OG "pindot" or "diin." Imagine trying to get the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube, or pressing a stubborn elevator button. You're *tumiin*-ing it. It's not used much anymore, kinda like Friendster.
This is a rare or archaic word. 'Dumiin' or 'pumindot' are much more common in modern Tagalog.
