Learn Bisaya: Possessive Pronouns - Bisaya Tutorial 

Hi +Scott Tyssen Indeed confusing at first :) Walay sapayan ug salamat pud sa sige pagtan-aw sa akong mga videos. Yes guys, just keep practicing :)

Judy diyAddict thankfully I have been studying and I know you said "your wekcome and thank you too for watching my videos" 😊

the ng indicates possession, its not really about being childish lol.

My pleasure :) When I started doing the Bisaya Lessons it was also kind of difficult that I have to do some research in order for me to convey the meanings and proper usage of words.

Ano po mean Ng kaayo.?

Ralph 05 Kaayo - very, as in salamat kaayo (thank you very much), gwapo kaayo (very handsome), etc.

That's very nice of you :) For sure, she will be happy. Thanks again.

From the islands you mentioned, there are some variations in the dialects. You might find some words are a bit different from Cebuano.

@@cebuano101 oo nga.

@@cebuano101 everybody texts and everybody spells differently. Knowing the root word and the variations can help me figure some of it out. 🤤

@@cebuano101 what does "ganun" mean?

Ganun is "like that" or "really". It's derived from the word "ganoon" but for ease of use some prefers "ganun". This is Tagalog not Cebuano. You might also find that a number of locals used this as expression "Ganun/ Ganern".

Hi +Manuel Ruffin It's confusing at the start but just keep going. Do check out the new website www.cebuano101.com where you can test yourself as well.

Oh apologies. I overlooked your message. I actually explained this in one of my recent video: Comparing. Good observation. Kay is "is and because".

Glad it helped!

Akoang amigo or amiga - This is my friend. Akong "mga" amigo ug amiga. - These are my friends. If it's your close friends - Akong barkada. Barkada is already plural.

@@cebuano101 Salamat maestra! That helps a lot.

I have a plan to revisit the personal pronoun and present a better lesson. :)

instead of telling people what they SHOULD do, why don't you make your own videos and show us how to do it right. My wife is Bisaya but she has never used the word Binisaya to refer the Cebuano language. You are obviously very educated but you are over the top. Suggesting is much better than commanding someone.

They are both the same. Imong kwarta or kwarta nimo. Putting the "imong" (possessive pronoun) before the noun. The "nimo" (Object pronoun) if placed after a noun it becomes possessive. I discussed this in my updated pronouns lessons.

Thanks for your input :)

Hi Epoch, it's ok. Confusion is part of the learning process. It is important to master our Pronouns. Please watch my updated pronoun lesson here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JSfk6G42csE.html

Epoch: My understanding is that ilang and ilahang are just short forms for "ila ang", is that correct? So the above sentence can be expanded to: "Asa ila ang ni Inday?" Judy: Ila is the root word which means Theirs. Ila is a possessive pronoun. Ilaha is another variation of Ila. There is "ng" at the end of Ilang or ilahang to connect it to a noun e.g. ilang Inday The context here in Asa ilang Inday? means where is Inday's house? The context meaning of Ila here means Inday and her family. This is because it is common for us to still live with our parents or relatives. But if you mean Inday's place without her family staying with her. You can say "Asa ang balay ni Inday?" this means Where is Inday's house. This sentence is contextual and may not sound logical. Epoch: To make it more confusing, what is the purpose of "dapita" or "dapit"? What if I make the sentence more complex by saying: "Asa dapita ilahang Inday?" Judy: Adding dapita/dapit - we wanted to know the specific place of Inday. Asa dapita ilahang Inday is correct. These are just different ways to ask Where is Inday's place. Asa ilang Inday? Asa dapita ilang/ ilahang Inday?

One last thing if we add "ha" or "a" example: Ilaha or Akoa This shows particularization or made more specific. In our example, it has more emphasis on possession.

hahaha, thank you ate. Effort ra ba kaayo ko ani.

naa nasay ton-anan akong anabz! hehehe! salamat :D

ahahha. Sir nag nose bleed jud ko aning imong mga laglom nga bisaya oi. Kalingaw. Salamat sa pagbisita ha. Ay grabeh sya oh "kabus" jud? Unsa man nang Tingkiri sir?

Wow! That was very informative +olala muybien :) Never really heard of the "haka" dance. Never heard that word being use here in Cebu as far my existence is concerned :) That's why I asked.

Kayu-kayu? hahaha wala sad ko ka gets ani nga word :)

Gud/ gyud/ gayud are emphasis words. There's no difference. In Tagalog, this is "talaga". :)

Yes. That is correct. If you want the shorter version , you can always use "Ako ni? or Akoa ni?

Thanks Bradley. Not just connecting Pronouns to Nouns but also Nouns to Nouns or Adjective to Noun :)

It comes from the word "nga".
