EN: moderate, just right, sufficient
The Goldilocks of Tagalog. Not too hot, not too cold, but *just right*. It's that feeling when you add just enough sugar to your coffee, or when the aircon is at the perfect temperature. It's the opposite of OA (over-acting) or 'kulang sa pansin'.
From the root 'tamtam', meaning moderation.
Often used to describe quantity, quality, or degree. The phrase 'tamtamang halaga' means a fair or reasonable price.
