EN: to pester
The energy of a kid in a toy store begging for a new toy, or that one 'team lead' in your group project who keeps following up on a task you said you'd do... five minutes after they first asked. It's the verbal equivalent of a poke that just won't stop.
Often has a negative connotation of being annoying or bothersome. The root word itself can act as a command in some contexts (e.g., 'Huwag kang mang-ukilkil.').
🇵🇭 Tigil na ang pag-ukilkil mo sa akin, ibibigay ko kapag handa na.
🇺🇸 Stop pestering me, I'll give it when it's ready.
