EN: to act like a precocious child
Describes a kid who talks and acts like a tiny, know-it-all adult. They use big words, give unsolicited advice, and join grown-up conversations. It's like seeing a 7-year-old talk about politics or the economy. Cute, but also kinda... "Easy ka lang, 'nak." The term literally means 'to be a green tomato'—not yet ripe.
Combination of 'mura' (unripe, young) and 'kamatis' (tomato).
ROOT MEANING: to scold; to curse
This is an idiomatic expression. It's often used with a slightly negative or teasing connotation. The root 'mura' here means unripe/young, not cheap or curse.
