/ba-TA/
FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang tao na nasa murang edad o hindi pa matanda.
EN: young
The adjective form of 'child'. It means young. "Mas bata siya sa akin" means "He/She is younger than me." It's the opposite of 'matanda' (old). Not to be confused with 'bata' (child), though they're obviously related. The difference is the stress: /BA-ta/ is the noun, /ba-TA/ is the adjective.
Possibly from Sanskrit "vatsa" (calf, child).
The stress is on the last syllable /ba-TA/, differentiating it from the noun 'bata' /BA-ta/ (child).
