FIL: Isang maliit na kurot o kaunting-kaunting dami ng isang bagay, tulad ng asin o asukal.
EN: a small pinch; a tiny amount
It's that 'pinch' of salt your lola tells you to add to the adobo, but you never know if it's a two-finger pinch or a three-finger pinch. It's the 'just a little bit' that can make or break a recipe. A 'kurit' of tsismis is also enough to start a fire.
Often used in cooking contexts for a very small, imprecise amount. Can be used figuratively for a small amount of anything.
🇵🇭 Magdagdag ka ng isang kurit ng paminta sa sinigang.
🇺🇸 Add a pinch of pepper to the sinigang.
🇵🇭 Kahit isang kurit ng pag-asa ay sapat na.
