EN: prone to being wasteful; having spendthrift tendencies
This is the adjective form for the 'buhalhal' lifestyle. If your mom says you're 'buhalhalin', it means she's noticed your growing collection of online shopping packages and your tendency to treat every day like payday. It's a gentle (or not-so-gentle) warning that you're leaning into your inner 'gastador'.
ROOT MEANING: wasteful; extravagant; spendthrift
Describes the characteristic or tendency, whereas "buhalhal" describes the person or the state. It's the "-ish" in "spendthrift-ish".
