FIL: Nagpapakita ng sukdulang kasanayan, kaayusan sa paggawa, at pangkalahatang kagalingan.
EN: very skillful, excellent, very competent
If 'napakagaling' is for a specific 'wow' moment, 'napakahusay' is for sustained, consistent excellence. It's for the BPO agent with the highest CSAT score for 6 months straight, or the chef whose every dish is a masterpiece. It implies a deep, well-honed skill. It's 'galing' with a college degree.
From `napaka-` (superlative prefix) + `husay` (skill, competence, orderliness).
Often interchangeable with 'napakagaling', but 'napakahusay' can carry a stronger connotation of craftsmanship, competence, and well-executed work.
