That feeling when you get your 'sahod' and after paying all your bills, the remaining amount is... 'di-husto'. It's when you order a 'Large' fries and the box is only half-full. It can also mean 'incorrect', like when you're sure you have the right answer but the facts say 'di-husto, bes'.
From 'di-' (not) + 'husto' (enough, correct, from Spanish 'justo' - just, right).
ROOT MEANING: enough, sufficient; correct, exact
Can mean both 'insufficient' and 'incorrect/improper'. Context is key to differentiate the meaning.
