EN: Childish; puerile
When a full-grown adult throws a tantrum because their milk tea order was wrong. It’s that colleague who loves to pull pranks, or your tito who still collects action figures (which is cool, but still). It's the opposite of 'acting your age.'
Compound word from 'kilos' (action) and 'bata' (child).
Can be used as an adjective ('Siya ay kilos-bata') or a noun ('Hindi maganda ang pagiging kilos-bata mo.') to describe childish behavior.
🇵🇭 Kahit matanda na siya, kilos-bata pa rin kung magtampo.
🇺🇸 Even though he's old, he's still childish when he sulks.
🇵🇭 Tigilan mo na 'yang pagiging kilos-bata mo, hindi na nakakatuwa.
🇺🇸 Stop your childish behavior, it's not funny anymore.
