FIL: Ang pagiging maselan, pabebe, o labis na pag-arte sa kilos o pananalita na hindi natural.
EN: affectation, fussiness, pickiness
That extra-ness you didn't ask for. When your friend refuses to eat at a carinderia because "it's, like, so unhygienic?" or someone who has a full-blown dramatic monologue over a minor inconvenience. It's the opposite of "chill." It's the "ma-art" level-up.
From ka- + arte (from Spanish 'arte' meaning art, but used in Filipino to mean affectation) + -han.
Often used with a negative or teasing connotation. 'Kaartihan' is a common variant with the same meaning.
🇵🇭 Tigilan mo na nga 'yang kaartehan mo, kumain ka na lang.
🇺🇸 Just stop your fussiness and just eat.
🇵🇭 Dahil sa sobrang kaartehan, wala tuloy siyang nagustuhan sa mga pagpipilian.
🇺🇸 Because of so much pickiness, she didn't like any of the choices.
