Tap can be a verb or a noun. As a verb, "to tap" means to touch lightly. For example you might "tap someone on the back" in order to get their attention. In Portuguese, the closest I can think of is bater de leve. Similarly, as a noun, a "tap" can mean a light touch (uma tapinha, uma palmadinha). However, "tap" can also mean a water faucet (uma torneira). The phrase "on tap" (as in "What kinds of beer do you have on tap?") is used to mean beers that come out of a dispenser rather than a bottle (similar to um chope or uma cerveja de barril).
