While "mayabang" is the more common Filipino term for "arrogant," "mahambog" is a more specific and direct translation in Bicolano.
Here's a breakdown:
* Mayabang: This is the Tagalog word for arrogant. It's widely understood across the Philippines, including Bicol.
* Mahambog: This is the Bicolano word for arrogant, emphasizing the boasting and self-importance aspect of the trait.
So, if you want to call someone arrogant in Bicol, you can use either "mayabang" or "mahambog," but "mahambog" is more accurate and specific to the Bicolano language.
