FIL: Nagpapakita ng labis na interes o pag-uusisa sa mga bagay na hindi naman niya dapat pakialaman.
EN: curious, nosy
A lighter, more casual version of 'usisero'/'usisera'. It's more about being curious than being malicious. You're being usyoso when you slow down to see what the commotion is on the street. It's the 'chismis-in-the-making' vibe.
From Spanish 'ocioso' (idle, unoccupied), with its meaning shifting in Filipino to align more with 'curioso' (curious), likely because idle people were perceived as being nosy.
Often used to describe a male, but can be used for anyone. It is less formal and less negative than 'usisero'.
