EN: enough, sufficient; correct, exact
The most satisfying word when paying for something with exact change. "Bayad po, husto." It's also your mom's answer when you ask how much salt to put in the adobo: "Yung husto lang" (Just enough). It's that "just right" Goldilocks feeling – not too much, not too little. The opposite of "kulang" (lacking) and "sobra" (excessive).
Spanish 'justo' (just, fair, exact)
Very versatile. Can mean 'enough', 'correct', 'exact', or 'fitting'.
