EN: picky, fussy, finicky, dramatic
The OG 'main character syndrome.' Yung kaibigan mong ayaw kumain sa karinderya kasi 'it's not aesthetic.' Can also mean someone who is overly dramatic about small things. The line between being classy and being maarte is thinner than your patience during rush hour traffic.
