EN: to like something; to choose to want
This is the verb form of "gusto" when the *thing you want* is the star of the show (object-focus). Think of it as actively choosing to like something. Like when your friend sets you up on a blind date and you're trying your best to find them charming. "Sinusubukan kong gustuhin siya." It's the effort you put into liking someone or something.
From 'gusto' + '-hin' suffix.
ROOT MEANING: to want; to like
This is the object-focus form of 'gusto'. The subject of the sentence is the thing being liked/wanted. For example, "Gustuhin mo sana ang regalo ko." (I hope you like my gift.)
