/ba-IT/
FIL: Tumutukoy sa katangian ng pagiging mabuti, may magandang asal, at hindi gumagawa ng masama.
EN: kind, good, well-behaved
This is the gold standard for Filipino kids. If your lola tells you 'Ang bait mo, iho/iha,' you've basically won at life. It's not just 'good,' it's a mix of being well-behaved, respectful, and kind-hearted. It's the opposite of 'pasaway' (naughty/stubborn).
From Proto-Philippine *baqit.
The root word 'bait' is used as an adjective, but the form 'mabait' is more common in sentences.
