EN: automatic
'Kusa.' It's the magic behind ATMs, vendo machines, and your 'auto-reply' when you're on vacation leave. It's also that 'automatiko' reaction of saying 'po' and 'opo' to your elders, or grabbing your phone the moment you wake up. Some things are just programmed into the system, whether it's a machine or a Pinoy. Also refers to a type of car transmission for those who can't be bothered with a clutch.
From English 'automatic'.
Can also be used as an adverb ('automatikong nagsara'). The 'k' ending is common in Filipino spelling of English '-ic' words.
