EN: Advanced (payment); forward; presumptuous
This is your tita who asks "Kailan ka ikakasal?" the moment you introduce your new jowa. She's jumping the gun, she's adelantada. It can also mean getting your salary in advance (a.k.a. "vale"), which is great until the actual payday comes and you're broke. It's being too forward, whether in a conversation or with your finances.
From Spanish "adelantada" (advanced, forward - feminine).
Can have a slightly negative connotation, implying someone is being presumptuous or nosy.
