EN: classmate
Your partner in crime for group projects, your source for notes when you're "absent," and the person you secretly compete with for the top spot. Your kaklase is a core part of your school life—from elementary chismis to college thesis struggles. They're the reason you have someone to copy from... I mean, "collaborate with."
From `ka-` + `klase` (class), which is borrowed from Spanish 'clase'. The `ka-` prefix denotes a shared group or a fellow member.
A very common word in academic settings.
🇵🇭 Pakisabi sa kaklase mo na may takdang-aralin tayo bukas.
🇺🇸 Please tell your classmate that we have an assignment tomorrow.
🇵🇭 Naging matalik kong kaibigan ang dati kong kaklase noong high school.
