This is the engine of all analogies and similes. When you say, "Ang traffic sa EDSA ay maitutulad sa isang napakabagal na parking lot," you're using this verb. It's for finding similarities, drawing parallels, and making sense of one thing by explaining it in terms of another. The ultimate tool for poets and people trying to explain complex things to their lola.
From `ma-` (potential prefix) + `itutulad` (future tense of `itulad`, to liken). The root is `tulad` (like, similar to).
ROOT MEANING: like; similar to
This form is in the potential, future aspect ('can be compared'). The completed aspect is 'naitulad' ('was compared') and the infinitive potential is 'maitulad' ('to be able to compare').
