Your 'sukatan' is your benchmark or your ruler. Literally, it could be a tape measure ('medida') or a weighing scale. Figuratively, it's your KPI at work, your standards for a romantic partner ('Ano ba ang sukatan mo sa lalaki?'), or the criteria for a contest. It's the official 'how we measure things around here'.
