EN: to measure
This is what your nanay does to you with her eyes before she says "Tumaba ka na naman." It's also what a tailor does before making you a gown, or what you do to your patience level when your internet connection drops during a meeting. "Sukatin mo muna kung kasya pa ba 'yang damit" is the prelude to a diet.
ROOT MEANING: measurement; size; dimension
The verb is in its object-focus form (-in). "Sinukat" is the past tense, "sinusukat" is the present, and "susukatin" is the future.
