Conversational:

Example 1:

You want to tell your lover how much you love her. This is how you say it.
" Kabalo ba ka nga gihigugma taka pag ayo?" - Do you know that I have loved you so much?

Example 2:

" Dili ko mabuhi kung wala ka akong pinangga. " - I can't live without you my love.

Note: Pinangga means My love.

Example 3:

For the time we've spent together, I think I have fallen in love with you. This is how you say it.
" Sa panahon nga nag uban ta, murag nahulog na akong kasing kasing kanimo."

Note: Kasing-kasing means Heart.

Example 4:

I need your love. Please don't hurt me and leave me. This is how you say it.
" Ang imong gugma gikinahanglan nako busa akong gihangyo kanimo ayaw intawon ako biya-e ug ayaw intawon pasakiti ang akong kasingkasing.

Example 5:

MARRIAGE PROPOSAL - Different way of Saying it in Visayan Language.

I can't wait any longer, I want to spend my lifetime with you. Will you Marry me?. This is how you say it.
"Dili nako makahulat pa ug dugay, Kay sa tibuok kong kinabuhi gusto ko na mag uban na ta. Unta musugot ka na magminyo na ta."

I can't hold on to this any longer, I don't want to be alone with my entire life. Will you accept to marry me?
" Dili nako magpadugay dugay pa, Dili nako gusto mag inusara sa tibuok kong kinabuhi. Dawaton mo ba kining hangyo ko na magminyo na ta?

I'm hoping you will accept this marriage proposal of mine.This is how you say it.

" Akong gihangyo kanimo na imong dawaton kini akong pagpangasawa kanimo."


Gosh! It's getting complicated right? I'm having difficulty also in translating it since I'm not used of using Visayan language when in terms of love and courtship.
New generations like me, rarely use these lines anymore but it's an A plus if you know how to speak these love words to your lover.

How To Count Using The Visayan Languange From 1 to 100

Kumusta mga amigo?

How are you my friends?

Today I will teach you HOW TO COUNT USING THE VISAYAN LANGUAGE from 1 to 100

When counting in ordinary ways. Like counting how many pencils, ducks, trees, people you use these:

1 - isa
2 - duha
3 - tulo
4 - upat
5 - lima
6 - unom
7 - pito
8 - walo
9 - siyam
10 - pulo

There are four pieces of pencils on the table. In Visayan we say it - Naay upat kabuok lapis sa lamisa. (correct usage)

It's incorrect if you will use the word KWATRO instead of UPAT.

Example of incorrect usage: Naay KWATRO kabuok lapis sa lamisa.

Note:

Naay means There are/is
Kabuok means Pieces
Lapis means Pencils
Lamisa means Table

Another example:

a. There is only one person I love and that is you. - Isa lang jud akong gihigugma ug ikaw lang na.
b. I saw them both at the park. - Nakit-an nako silang duha sa park.
c. The three roses means I Love You - Kaning tulo ka rosas nagapasabot nga Gihigugma tika.
d. Please place four pieces of chair on the living area. - Palihog pagbutang ug upat kabuok lingkuranan sa sala.
e. You are candidate number five. - Ikaw ang ika lima nga kandidata.
f. Fill 6 cups of water on the pan. - Butangi ug unom ka baso nga tubig ang kalaha.
g. There are seven people inside the room. - Adunay pito ka tawo sulod sa kwarto.
h. Please give me eight pieces of paper . - Palihog taga-i ko ug walo kabuok papel.
i. Naruto has nine tails. - Si Naruto adunay siyam ka ikog.
j. You can only open ten gifts. - Na pulo lamang ka regalo imong ablihan.

In money matters, the counting is different.

1 - piso
2 - dos
3 - tres
4 - kwatro
5 - singko
6 - saiz
7 - syete
8 - otso
9 - nwebe
10 - diez

You can use this counting in both ways: money counting and the ordinary way of counting things.

Usually you there's a preceding word TAG before the desired number you want to use it in prices.

Example:

a. Gil: How much is this apple?
Vendor: This apple cost 10 pesos each.

Translation: Gil - Tag pila ning mansanas?
Vendor - Tag diez pesos ang isa ka mansanas.

* Mansanas means Apple

b. The fare is worth ninety-five pesos.

Translation: Ang pamilite kay tag nubenta'y singko pesos.

* Pamilite means Fare


11- onse / unse
12 - dose
13 - trese
14 - katorse
15 - kinse
16 - dise sais
17 - dise syete
18 - dise otso
19 - dise nwebe
20 - bente

21 - bente uno
22 - bente dos
23 - bente tres
24 - bente kwatro
25 - bente singko
26 - bente saiz
27 - bente syeite
28 - bente otso
29 - bente nwebe
30 - trenta/ trainta

so on so forth up to 39

so on so forth up to 59

60 - saisinta

61 - saisinta'y uno
62 - saisinta'y dos
63 - saisinta'y tres
64 - saisinta'y kwatro

so on so forth up to 69

70 - sitenta

How To Approach a Person or Introduce Yourself Using The Visayan Language

Hello. Maayong gabi-e kaninyong tanan in English Good evening to everyone.

First of all, I would like to apologize for not posting videos for the past few months.
Oh! I forgot, it's been a year already. I'm so sorry. I have received a lot of messages from you guys and I was surprised that you love my videos. Seriously, are you really telling me the truth? hahaha! Thanks to Jimstruckertech for inspiring me to make videos again. Now, Let's begin with our lesson.

Our subject for tonight is How To Approach A Person Using The Visayan Language. I know you guys wanna impressed someone and these lesson will surely get their attention.


Situation inside the bus. But this lesson can also be use to any situation similar to this.

1. You're sitting beside a person you don't know inside a bus and you want to know her name, where's her destination etc.

* There you go, trying to make a move to know her name... all you have to say is...
" Hello or Hi!, Pwede ba tika maila - ila? which means: Hello or Hi, I would like to make friends with you, Is that okay with you?

If: The girl said yes, then it's time for you to ask for her name right? This is how you say it.
" Pwede makabalo unsa imong ngalan?" - in english, it means, May i know your name please...

Note: Pwede means May I or Can I
Makabalo means Know
Unsa means What
Imong or Imo means Your or You
Ngalan means name

There you go! Let's say it again.

Pwede ba tika maila-ila? - Is it possible to make friends with you?
Pwede makabalo unsa imong ngalan? - May I know your name please?

Good! you're doing it right! Next!

2. The person you're trying to make friends with gave her name already and he/she asked in return for your name. This is how you answer in Visayan.
He/She might use this word to ask your name. " Ikaw, unsa pud imong ngalan?" which means, " How about you, what is your name?" - Now, you're connecting!

Just answer the him/her in this manner. "Ang akong pangalan kay si Gilbert Black" in English, " My name is Gilbert Black"

Note: Akong means My or mine
Pangalan means name

Let's say it again.

Ang akong pangalan kay si <_> "change the name inside < >"


3. Next! Where is your destination? or Where do you want to go? in Visayan we say it, "Asa diay ka padulong?" or "Asa ka dapit muadto?"

Note: Asa means Where
Padulong means Destination
Dapit means Place
Muadto means Go Somewhere or simply Go.

Now, let's check your pronunciation.

Asa diay ka padulong? or
Asa ka dapit muadto?

***You can choose any of the two. It has the same meaning. Just choose the sentence that you find easy to speak.


4. After those questions, maybe both of you are already talking about some things and his or her destination is already near and you want to get his or her number. You can say it this way. "
Pwede ba nako makuha imong cellphone number or telephone number?"

Note: Pwede means May I or Can I?
Nako means Me
Makuha means Get
Imong means Your


Can you speak it on your own now? Speak after me.

Pwede ba nako makuha imong cellpone number? or Pwede ba nako makuha imong telephone number? (That's it man!)


5. Well, the he/she has arrived to her destination and bid goodbye to you already. Well, what would be the possible thing to say. You might say "Goodbye, I will call you when I arrived to my destination. Let's talk Sometimes"
In Visayan, you will say " Bye or Goodbye, mutawag ko nimo pag-abot nako ha , mag tabi tabi sad ta panagsa or magtabi tabi sad ta usahay"


Oh my Gosh! I think that was quite long but hey! It's very easy. Just try it. Now, Listen to me again.

Bye, mutawag ko nimo pag abot nako ha, magtabi tabi sad ta panagsa.
Bye, mutawag ko nimo pag abot nako ha, magtabi tabi sad ta usahay.

Note: Panagsa or Usahay has the same meaning which is sometimes.
Mutawag means I will Call
Ko from the word Ako which means ME
Pag abot which mean arrived
Nako means Me
Magtabi tabi means chit chat or talk
