EN: sister
Your 'ate' or 'bunso' that you either fight with over clothes or team up with against your parents. She's your forever frenemy, your first best friend, and the one who knows exactly how to push your buttons. In short, your ride-or-die, but will also 'sumbong' you to your nanay.
A compound phrase from `kapatid` (sibling) and `babae` (woman/female).
ROOT MEANING: sibling
The standard way to specify a female sibling. Often shortened in speech or replaced by 'ate' (for older sister) or the person's name.
