Describes that person who acts like they're the main character and everyone else is just an extra. They walk into a room and you can just feel the air change. They think they're God's gift to the world. That's someone who 'may kapalaluan'. It's a more formal way of saying 'mayabang'.
From 'may' (to have) + 'kapalaluan' (arrogance), from the root 'palalo' (arrogant).
ROOT MEANING: arrogant; proud; haughty
A more formal and literary term than 'mayabang'.
