FIL: Ang bagay, halaga, o konsepto na kapareho o katapat ng isa pa sa bigat, sukat, halaga, o kahulugan.
EN: equivalent, counterpart
This is the word you use when you're talking about a fair trade or an equal exchange. What's the peso equivalent of 100 dollars? 'Ano ang katumbas sa piso ng 100 dolyar?' It's not just about money, though. It can be about effort, love, or sacrifice. 'Ang pagod ko ay walang katumbas na sahod.' (My exhaustion has no salary equivalent.) It's the ultimate word for 'equal value.'
From 'ka-' (denoting equality) + 'tumbas' (equal in weight or value).
Can be used as a noun ('ang katumbas') or an adjective ('katumbas na halaga').
🇵🇭 Ang isang oras na ehersisyo ay katumbas ng isang malusog na puso.
🇺🇸 One hour of exercise is equivalent to a healthy heart.
🇵🇭 Magkano ang katumbas sa dolyar ng isang libong piso?
🇺🇸 How much is the equivalent in dollars of one thousand pesos?
