FIL: Isang lalaking nasa hustong gulang na ngunit wala pang asawa.
EN: bachelor
The male equivalent of a 'dalaga'. He's single and (maybe) ready to mingle. In Pinoy culture, once you hit your late 20s and you're still a `binata`, expect your titas to ask at every family gathering, "O, iho, kailan ka mag-aasawa?" It's the ultimate 'pressure cooker' status.
From Malay *benata* ("young man").
Often used to describe a young, unmarried man. The female counterpart is 'dalaga'.
