EN: unripe, immature
Unripe. That green mango that's so sour it makes your whole face scrunch up. Also, your younger sibling who thinks they know everything but still asks you for money. When someone says, 'Bubot ka pa,' it's the slightly condescending way of saying, 'You're still a kid, you have no idea what you're talking about.'
Common across many Philippine languages.
Can be used literally for fruits and vegetables or figuratively for people.
