EN: to want; to like
The ultimate Filipino decision-maker. "Gusto ko 'to," is the start of every impulsive Shopee checkout and extra rice order. It's the opposite of "bahala na." When you know what you want, you say "gusto ko." When you're still figuring out your feelings for someone, you might just be at the "gusto kita" stage before leveling up to "mahal kita."
From Spanish 'gusto' meaning 'taste' or 'pleasure'.
Acts as a pseudo-verb. Often used with pronouns like "ko/mo/niya" to indicate the person wanting something (e.g., "Gusto ko ng kape"). The phrase 'gusto pa' means 'to want more' or 'to still want'.
