FIL: May kakayahang ipantay, ipareha, o ihalaga katulad ng iba.
EN: can be matched; can be equated
This is the ultimate 'hugot' word. 'Walang halaga ang maitutumbas sa pagmamahal ng isang ina.' (There's no value that can be equated to a mother's love). It's trying to find an equal match or value for something, whether it's love, effort, or the price of a fancy coffee. It's the 'Is it worth it?' question, but for your soul.
From `ma-` (potential prefix) + `itumbas` (to match/equate). The root is `tumbas` (equivalent, match).
Often used when comparing abstract concepts like love, sacrifice, or value, frequently in a negative construction (e.g., 'hindi maitumbasan' - cannot be matched).
