EN: to match in value, to give as an equivalent
This is the 'make it fair' verb. It's about finding an equal exchange. You 'itumbas' the effort your partner gives. You try to 'itumbas' the love your parents gave you. In a more literal sense, if you borrow 100 pesos, you should 'itumbas' the same amount when you pay it back. It's the core of 'fairness' and 'reciprocity.' Walang short-changing dapat!
Refers to equivalence in value, which can be monetary, quantitative, or abstract (like effort or love).
