EN: to sprinkle (with liquid)
It's the gentle art of flicking liquid onto something. Think of the priest during a house blessing, that's 'wisik'. Or your lola sprinkling water on the plants. Or you, trying to 'wisik' just enough patis on your sinigang without turning it into a salt bomb. It's a controlled splash.
From 'wisik' (sprinkle, splash).
The suffix '-an' indicates the object or place where the action is performed. 'Wisikan mo' means 'Sprinkle it'.
🇵🇭 Wisikan mo ng holy water ang buong bahay para sa blessing.
🇺🇸 Sprinkle the whole house with holy water for the blessing.
🇵🇭 Maingat niyang winisikan ng pabango ang kanyang damit.
