Kinsa'y mga DDS diri nga wa nahimuot ila Robin ug Bato karon sa senado?

Question is only for those DDS nga wa na nahimuot sa ilang mga gipang botaran ug sa ka dramahan nga nahitabo sa Senado ron. Kung DDS ka nga tan-aw nimo sila Bato ug Robin ang agrabyado, dili ikaw akong target audience.

In Bisaya "baboy" means both pork AND pig. There's no separate word for the live animal vs the meat.

TIL learning Bisaya today.

In English we differentiate: live pig vs cooked pork. In Bisaya it's just "baboy" for both.

Probably because in Cebuano culture, baboy is so central to celebrations (lechon at every birthday, fiesta, christening) that the line between "animal" and "food" is basically the same conversation.

Same thing with karne (meat) — also from Spanish. Manok is chicken AND chicken meat. Isda is fish AND fish meat.

Anyone else find their language has these collapsed categories where English splits them?

To anyone who is both fluent in Cebuano and English: could you help me translate something?

Could anyone please translate the following into Cebuano for me?

"I think you've been hacked. I (and your other Facebook friends) have been receiving messages from your account, and the messages have website-links to harmful websites. I don't know if you can see the messages your account sent me, as hackers can delete messages. But if you do see those messages, don't click on the website-links, because those websites can cause you various problems. Those websites try to steal people's money. You might need to change your Facebook password, to a new password that is too difficult for a hacker to guess. It may also help to set up 2-factor-authentication on your Facebook."

The man is an old distant-relative, and I don't think he's very tech-savvy.

Bisaya word of the day: "Pan" 🍞 (and yes, it means exactly what you think)

ok so todays bisaya word of the day is pan 😂 which just means... bread. pronounced pahn.

example they gave: Mangaon ta ug pan → "let's eat bread"

it's wild how much spanish just casually lives inside bisaya. pan in spanish, pan in tagalog (pandesal anyone), pan in bisaya — like the spaniards left and the bread stayed lol.

anyway bisaya ppl whats your go to pan?? im a pandesal w/ kape guy myself but i feel like pan de coco is underated. or are u the type who only counts puto/bibingka as real merienda and dosent even consider pan lmao

Bisaya word of the day: Karne 🍖

Today's Bisaya word of the day: Karne 🍖

Means "meat" — pronounced kahr-NEH.

Example: "Lutoa ang karne." → "Cook the meat."

Funny how it's basically the Spanish word "carne." Bisaya has SO many Spanish loanwords most people don't realize.

"Gi-" ug "gina-"

As someone accustomed to the Metro Cebu dialect, we always use "gi-" on some past tense contexts. Gani, naay daghang signages sa Cebu like "ginadili ang paglabay sa basura", but we tend to see using "gina-" as kinda dated.

Pero, mas komun nako ma-encounter sa mga taga-Davao and some parts of Mindanao nga mogamit ug "gi-" ug "gina-" at the same time, ug medyo galibog ko ani (I thought they're the same lang).

Pareho ra ba nang "gi-" ug "gina-"? Or lahi lang ba silag function?

Kanang pasabta ko...

Lahi ba ang "MAOY" sa tagalog ug bisaya?

Ang MAOY sa Cebuanos kay minghoy/ sadboy, sad girl/ dramatic

Sa tagalog kay ang akong sabot sa ilang MAOY kay nasuko?

Ka duha ko ka encounter ni use ug word na MAOY (1 sa podcast then 1 sa thread) then ang context kay nasuko or basta negative.

As far as I know, maoy is a cebuano word. Na adopt ni nila ug ghatagan ug lain meaning Or naa sad lain version ang tagalog?

Hello po, sorry I'm a non-bisaya person and walang kilalang nagsasalita ng bisaya (Bicolano po ako). Genuinely asking what's the bisaya word for "Coral"? Need lang po for my concept discussion, acad-related. I can't seem to find anything on google, except "Koral". Maybe may word pang directly translated sa bisaya, especially Cebuano. TYIA and please be nice po and this is serious. 💗

Pronunciation: ah-SEEN

Example sentence:

Perfect word for anyone eating with Bisaya family and trying to fit in at the dinner table haha 😄

I've been building a free site to help people learn Bisaya — it updates with a new word every day. Would love feedback from actual Bisaya speakers on the words and example sentences!

Unsaon pagtranslate ning quote sa bisaya:

"Life favors action, not intelligence" ug "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail"?

Ang una, gitype nako sa google, pero ang salita ra nga "intelligence" ang wala nako matranslate. Dayon, ang ikaduha, mangayo ko tabang unsay nindot nga pagsulti sa bisaya. Daghang salamat!
