What is the meaning of nibble in Tagalog?

There isn't a direct equivalent for "nibble" in Tagalog that perfectly captures the same nuance.

Here are some options depending on the context:

For small bites:

* Kain ng konti (literally "eat a little")

* Kagatin ng dahan-dahan (literally "bite slowly")

* Tikman (to taste, which can also imply a small bite)

* Subuan (to try a small amount, often of food)

For a gentle or hesitant bite:

* Mangagat ng dahan-dahan (literally "bite gently")

* Sipsipin (to suck, which can be used for nibbling on something soft)

For animals:

* Kinagat ng bahagya (literally "bitten slightly")

Ultimately, the best translation would depend on the specific situation and the type of nibbling you're trying to describe.
