FIL: Isang batang lalaki na nasa yugto ng pagbibinata, karaniwang nasa pagitan ng pagkabata at pagiging ganap na binata.
EN: adolescent boy
Think of that awkward phase: voice cracking, sudden growth spurts, and a newfound interest in crushes. He's no longer a 'bata' but not yet a full-fledged 'binata'. He's the guy who spends hours on his hair and probably has a K-pop idol as his wallpaper. The female equivalent is 'dalagita'.
From Spanish *veintillo* (literally 'twenty-cent coin'), used as a diminutive suffix for a young man, influenced by *binata*.
Refers to a male teenager. The female counterpart is 'dalagita'.
