EN: tactless
This is that tita at a family reunion who asks, "Uy, tumaba ka! Kailan ka ikakasal?" loudly. Or the officemate who uses your mug without asking. They lack a sense of boundaries and social grace. They are the human equivalent of a pop-up ad you can't close.
From 'wala' (none, without) + Spanish 'delicadeza' (delicacy, tact).
A common term used to criticize someone's lack of tact or social awareness. It's slightly less harsh than 'walang-hiya' but points to a similar lack of social grace.
🇵🇭 Talagang walang-delikadesa ang taong kumakain ng baon ng iba.
🇺🇸 A person who eats someone else's packed lunch is truly tactless.
🇵🇭 Huwag kang magtanong tungkol sa sahod niya, para kang walang-delikadesa.
