(qiā) — to pinch, to nip (between thumb and finger); to pick (flowers, leaves) by pinching off; (colloquial) to fight, to quarrel

定義

掐 (qiā) is to pinch or nip with thumb and finger — sharper than 捏 (which can also mean to mold or fabricate). The slang sense 'to fight/quarrel' is colloquial, lighter than 吵架.
