EN: to act young; to be childish
When a tito or tita suddenly busts out their old dance moves at a party or starts using Gen Z slang they don't understand. It's about letting your inner child out, for better or for worse. "Hayaan mo na si Daddy, minsan lang 'yan magpakabata at mag-TikTok."
From `mag-` + `paka-` + `bata`.
ROOT MEANING: young
Can be used positively (to be young at heart) or negatively (to be childish).
