Wikipedia's Cebuano Grammar

0

Ayo ninyong tanan!

Ako si Elijah. I am not fluent in Cebuano nor Binisaya. I was born in Cebu City, but I moved to America when I was 6. I'm 18 now. I have been trying my best to learn the language this year. I'm very into languages and linguistics. I can speak French and Spanish at a B1 level and a lot of other languages at lower levels, but I digress lol

Anyway, I have looked at Wikipedia's Cebuano Grammar Page and studied a lot from it. I also looked through the sources at the bottom of the page and ADDED to the page FROM these sources.

It's sad to see a language spoken by millions of people have so little accessible resources and such an obscure grammar that its people barely know themselves. They seem to care so much about just being understood rather than knowin why they say it the way they do. I'm not here to criticize my fellow Bisaya people, I'm actually here to try and encourage you all to try and understand the grammar and what you say! <3

Bisayan affixes

Maayong adlaw tanan,

I'm still learning Bisaya, but I can have a normal conversation at times.  Kuwang pa ang ako confidence unya dili ko usahay magkompiyansa sa mga uban words nga ako gamiton.  My biggest confusion are the affixes in the words.  So an explanation will help me greatly and increase my confidence.

Pananglitan ang suffix -a o -ha, unsay kalahian sa mga original words ug sa mga words nga naay suffixes sa tumoy?

e.g.: panahon and panahona, laki and lakiha, tambal and tambala, etc.

Ang suffix -anay o -ay,

e.g.: tulganay, tinabangay, sinabtanay, etc.

Also, unsay diperensya sa prefixes mi- and ni-

Salamat kaayo sa mga nitubag!

Negative Conjugations using "wala"

I have been exploring the correct way to conjugate verbs when using "wala." Many articles on the internet do not clearly explain when past tense (sometimes called nasugdan) or future tense (sometimes called pasugdan) verb conjugations should be used with negative sentences. In most formal writing, they use future tense verb conjugations for negative sentences using "wala."

For example, here are some sentences from the Wikipedia grammar page: Wala ka moadto sa tindahan. Wala sila mangaon sa Jollibee. Wala ako mahigugma kanimo. The future tense conjugation is bolded. It only uses a past tense (or nasugdan) verb conjugation for one negative sentence, Wala nako giinom ang tubig.

Regional variances in binisaya

Hi,

I am learning both Tagalog and Cebuano. I am English and trying to learn filipino languages is quite challenging for me. I have my own sources which includes newspaper articles, song lyrics and dictionaries. My wife is from Zamboanga Del Norte and she doesnt know alot of the Cebuano words I have been learning. For me its frustrating because the object of y learning is so I can communicate with her family members who dont speak English well.

It would really be useful for me if each word also had a region specific use. So if it is generally used or if it is more specific to a particluar region of Visayas and Mindanao.

Anyways, this website I find to be the best resource for translation, so thank you.

Kind Regards

Binisaya literacy is dying

Dali ra kaayo ka nakaclick sa? Ininglis man gud ang ulohan (title), kon sa Binisaya pa tino jud ko nga di nimo kini tagdon. Atong ihubad sa Binisaya ang ulohan, "Nagkaanam.anam na og Kawala ang Pag baton sa Binisaya." Ang gikayugot nako nga muabot ang panahon na kining atong pinalangga nga pinulongan kay mapapas na sa kalibutan. Kita'ng mga ginikanan, proud kaayo ta kon ang atong anak bansay muIninglis, apan ngano kaha nga kasagaran nato gilikay atong mga anak sa pag baton sa maayo'ng Binisaya? Kon ikaw usa ka Bisaya, ug ang imong bana o asawa kay usa pud ka Bisaya, walay gumunhap nga ang mga bata makabaton sa Binisaya. Apan duna ju'y uban'g mga kabanay'ng Binisaya nga Ininglis o Tinagalog jud ilang gusto ug ilahang gisalikway ang pag tudlo og Binisaya ngadto sa ilang mga bata.

Chrome plug in and discord.

Hi. I'm Koneho. I've been living in the Philippines for two years with my lovely eastern Boholano speaking partner. I have a small question, tagaloglessons.com has a wonderful plug in for chrome for Tagalog. I am inquiring as to if we have one for Cebuano as well? If so, could I be directed to a good popup cebuano dict?

Secondly, I would like to humbly invite everyone to our PH languages chatroom on discord (like IRC but for the 21st century), just bear in mind we run very young (other than our in house linguist who studies generative grammar things) we're all in our early to mid twenties.

If anyone has any issues configuring it let me know here on binisaya.com, or you may reach me directly on discord with the handle Koneho#5369.

Akua nga pangutana kabahin sa unsay paghubad sa "satellite" (salingkapaw o naa na)? Akua nga nakit-an kanunay ra "sitlayit" o "satelayt" nga dayag kaayu nga gikan na sa Ininglis. Basin naa tay pulung sa "satellite" tungud kay naa man pud tay pulung susama sa "bulalakaw" (Ing: meteor), "bituun" (Ing: star), "lawangitan" (Ing: planet; hevenly body), ug "kapunawan" (Ing: galaxy). Maayu unta nga naay nakahibaw diri hahaha.

Salamat!
