Nota d'usoChildish significa “infantile” anche nel senso di “immaturo, puerile”: childish moods and outbursts of temper, umori infantili e scatti d'ira; Stop being so childish!, smettila di essere così infantile! Anche childlike significa “infantile”, ma si usa in riferimento alle virtù positive dell'infanzia, come l'entusiasmo e la semplicità, quando sono possedute da adulti: childlike simplicity, la semplicità di un bambino. -
