FIL: Isang tao na umaasa sa iba para sa kanyang pagkain, tirahan, at iba pang pangangailangan; walang sariling hanapbuhay at binubuhay ng iba.
EN: dependent, freeloader
Ah, the 'pabigat.' The adult sibling who still lives at home, doesn't pay rent, and their only contribution is eating the food and using the Wi-Fi. It's a harsh term for someone who is completely dependent on others for sustenance. The ultimate 'tambay sa bahay.'
From "pa-" (causative prefix) + "lamon" (to eat voraciously, colloquial) + "-in" (object suffix, here nominalized). It means "one who is to be fed."
ROOT MEANING: devouring; gobbling
Carries a negative and often derogatory connotation, implying laziness or being a burden.
