EN: to calculate
What you do when you get your paycheck to see if you can afford both your bills and that 12.12 shopping cart. It's mentally computing if you have enough money for a fancy coffee or if you're stuck with 3-in-1 for the rest of the kinsenas. Can also be used for calculating risks, like, 'Kinalkula ko kung aabot pa ba ako sa office kapag dumaan ako ng EDSA ng 8 AM.' (Spoiler: you won't).
From Spanish 'calcular' (to calculate).
