FIL: Isang taong labis na nagtitipid at ayaw gumastos ng pera; maramot.
EN: stingy, miserly
Your friend who always 'forgets' their wallet during lunch out, insists on splitting the bill down to the last centavo, or walks 5 kilometers just to save on a 10-peso jeepney fare. They're not just 'matipid' (frugal), they're next-level 'di-makabasag-pinggan sa pagtitipid'.
While 'matipid' (frugal) is often seen as a positive trait, 'kuripot' carries a distinctly negative connotation.
