When you first meet her, she is shy. But once you get to know her she's really awesome! She's not a very social person. But once you know her, you can have a lot of fun. She is loyal in relationships and she loves everyone around her who is respectful and good to her. She can experience many emotions at once. She finds it difficult to ask for help but she will always be there to help. Everyone wants a Mette-Marit in their life!

A pejorative name that recently became popular in the Philippines, aimed at older women who are known gossips among their neighbors. While this word is mainly directed towards women, there are some male Mariteses; it could be considered the Filipino equivalent of Karen. (another term for this is 'chismosa')
Person 1: How the heck did that Marites find out about her pregnancy? We haven't told anyone about it!
Person 2: Maybe because you keep shouting all the time. You know their ears are glued to everybody's walls, Person 1!

Marites (ma-ri-tes) is a Filipino slang word used to call women who like gossiping about a certain topic. It is derived from the phrase "mars ano ang latest" breaking it down into a shorter form (a word) that's way easier to say.

It is a word from the country of the Philippines that stands for the phrase: "Mare, ito ang latest..." or "Mare, ano ang latest?" which is asking and rendering information, whether it is useless or not, as long as it is a gossip. It implies to a person who is fond of gossips, particularly Filipino women who don't have any workloads and has a habit of gossiping. Basically, it is a female version of Karen, with a lot of gossiping.
