EN: to equal, to match, to be equivalent to
Parang sa "situationship" mo, you give 100% effort pero ang balik sa'yo 10%. Hindi 'tumumbas' yung effort niya. It's about being on the same level. Can be about price, skill, or even love. The goal is always for things to be equal or for someone/something to be able to match another.
Often used in comparisons of value, effort, or skill.
