Meeting an Old Friend in Visayan Conversation

This is the common conversation between you and your friend you haven't seen for awhile. The person you may be speaking to is your high school crush, close friend, classmate or a previous co-worker.

Ui! Kumusta naman ka? - how are you?

Hain ka naman nagpuyo karon? - where do you live now?


Nagtrabaho na ka? Asa pud dapit? - What's keeping you busy? Are you currently working?
