EN: observant; critical; fault-finding
This is your perfectionist team lead who spots the one typo in your 50-page report. Or the classic 'Marites' who notices you're wearing the same shirt you wore last week. They have an eagle eye for detail, especially the details you wish they'd ignore. "Wala talagang nakakalusot sa kanya, sobrang mainuhin."
From `ma-` (adjective prefix) + an obscure root `inu` + `-hin` (characteristic suffix).
Can have a negative connotation, implying someone is overly critical or a nitpicker.
