뜻
A person with bad intentions or character.
문화적 배경
In many myths, villains like the 'Aswang' or 'Mangkukulam' are described as having a black heart or conscience, which is why they cannot stand the light of day or holy objects. The concept of 'budhi' is often linked to the Holy Spirit's guidance. A 'black' conscience is one that has completely rejected God's light. The 'Kontrabida' (villain) is a central figure in Filipino pop culture. Their 'maitim na budhi' is usually revealed through dramatic monologues or secret schemes. Before Spanish colonization, 'budhi' was related to 'dangal' (honor). To have a black conscience meant you had lost your honor and your place in the community.
It's a heavy insult
Only use this for serious moral failings. Using it for small things makes you sound overly dramatic or aggressive.
Teleserye Talk
If you want to sound like a native while watching a drama, shout 'Napakaitim ng budhi mo!' at the TV when the villain does something bad.

The 'Pala' Particle
Use 'pala' (Maitim pala ang budhi niya) to express that you just discovered their true nature. It adds a lot of natural flavor.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Yes, it is a very strong insult. It's like calling someone 'evil' or 'treacherous.' Use it with caution.
Generally, no. It's too heavy for children. Use 'pilyo' (naughty) instead.
No. While 'maitim' means black, in this idiom, it refers to the soul/conscience. However, be careful as using 'maitim' metaphors can sometimes be sensitive.
The opposite is 'mabuti ang budhi' or 'busilak ang puso' (pure heart).
It's neutral. You can find it in classic literature and in casual gossip.
No, 'maitim ang isip' isn't a standard idiom. You might mean 'madumi ang isip' (dirty minded).
In Filipino culture, black often symbolizes darkness, secrets, and the absence of goodness/light.
Only if you are describing a serious ethical violation you witnessed, but generally, it's too emotional for an interview.
Not exactly. 'Puso' is heart (emotions), while 'budhi' is conscience (moral judgment).
It's bud-HEE with a slight catch in the throat at the end (glottal stop).
