FIL: Tumutukoy sa asal o gawi na parang sa isang bata; isip-bata.
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.
