What you do every single day before cooking rice. "Ilang tasa?" is the question, and "itakal mo" is the action. It's the sacred ritual of measuring out grains, sugar, or flour using a specific container, ensuring perfect proportions for your sinangag or pandesal.
From i- (verb prefix) + takal (a measure).
ROOT MEANING: measure (of volume)
Specifically for measuring by volume (e.g., with a cup), not by weight. Usually for dry goods like rice, flour, sugar, or liquids.
