EN: to be for one's good; to cause improvement
This is your mom's favorite word when she's trying to make you do something you don't want to do. 'Kumain ka ng gulay, para sa ikabubuti mo 'yan.' It's the ultimate 'it's for your own good' card. Can also refer to something that makes a situation better.
From 'i-' (causative prefix) + 'ka-' (causative prefix) + 'buti' (goodness).
Often used in the future tense 'ikabubuti' to refer to a future benefit.
