FIL: Magbigay ng katumbas o kapantay na halaga, gantimpala, o parusa para sa isang bagay o gawa.
EN: to match, to equal, to compensate
It's like finding the perfect pair or equivalent. When you give 100% effort sa work, you expect your sahod to 'tumbasan' that effort. Or when your friend treats you to lunch, 'tutumbasan' mo by treating them to coffee. It's all about balance and reciprocity, parang 'what you give is what you get.'
The '-an' suffix makes it an object-focused verb, meaning 'to apply the root action to something'. The actor-focus form is 'tumumbas'.
🇵🇭 Paano mo tutumbasan ang pagmamahal na ibinigay ng iyong mga magulang?
🇺🇸 How will you match the love given by your parents?
🇵🇭 Kailangang tumbasan ng kumpanya ang pinsalang idinulot nito sa kalikasan.
🇺🇸 The company needs to compensate for the damage it caused to the environment.
