EN: how annoying!
A classic Filipino expression for when you're mildly to moderately annoyed. It's the verbal equivalent of an eye-roll. Your sibling took the remote? "Kainis!" The internet is slow? "Kainis!" It's less intense than "Bwisit!" but gets the point across that your patience is wearing thin.
From `ka-` + `inis` (annoyance, irritation).
ROOT MEANING: annoyance; irritation
Often used as a standalone interjection. "Nakakainis" is the more formal adjectival form meaning "annoying".
