"Hindi **masusukat** ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo." The classic hugot line. It's for things you can't quantify, like love, happiness, or your data consumption while scrolling through TikTok. For things you *can* quantify, like your waistline after the holidays, you also use this word, but with more dread.
ma- (potential verb prefix) + susukat (future tense of 'sukat')
ROOT MEANING: measurement; size; dimension
Can be used literally for physical measurements or figuratively for abstract concepts. The form 'nasusukat' is the present tense.
