EN: picky; choosy
This describes your friend who takes 30 minutes to decide what to order from GrabFood because "nothing looks good." They have a 100-point checklist for their "the one" and won't settle for less. It's having high standards, sometimes to a fault. In short, `magustuhin` is the official adjective for the "arte" or "pihikan" club.
From Spanish 'gusto' (taste, pleasure).
ROOT MEANING: to want; to like
Describes a person who is hard to please. It can have a slightly negative connotation, implying someone is overly selective.
