So much for the jerjer thing =)

yung magkaparehas sa bisaya at tagalog pero iba meaning.
Madalas kong marinig yung langgam. Sa tagalog nasa lupa pa lang, sa bisaya lumilipad na.

Hehe dami pa akong narinig na parehas pero iba meaning.
Nung una ko rin sa visayas eh nahirapan ako intindihin kung kailang gagamitin yung dili. Diba pag tinanong ka kung nakaligo ka na ang sagot mo sa tagalog ay 'hindi pa' so reply mo 'dili pa' yun pala dapat 'wa pa' na wala pa sa tagalog... Hehe... Just reminiscing those days.

Some of my friends are not good in Cebuano as well despite having grown in Negros Or or Cebu.

Common mistakes:

Moadto diri
Moanhi didto
Moari didto

Tamad = tapulan? Tama ba spelling?

Madalas kasi sabihin sa 'kin yan

[nicolai_frank]

Tamad=tapulan or tapolan is okay.

Root word: Tapol

[nicolai_frank]

Hehehe.

Just recently I had to translate Responsible Parenthood tips into Cebuano. It was hard. And there are really words in English that I failed to translate in Cebuano. Usually, Spanish words were used i.e responsable for responsible.

A classmate (R-10), I was tutoring in math used to say: ga-LIBOG jud ko...

I would stammer: "ako rin libog na rin."

[nicolai_frank]

^

Pareho rin yon sa "LAGOT" at "lagot".

[jerry_x]

libog..haha..most, if not all, tagalog-speakers would really laugh at you if they hear you say "naglibog jud ko"..

i find the cebuano spoken in Cebu as the most classical, you'd even hear words that you haven't encountered before..also, they have different names for things like: anchojos, otaw, espejo..and of course most distinct yung dropping/replacing of l to w like: buwad, puwa, nahoog (as in nahulog)..had a terrible experience pa in a restaurant in Cebu, i was ordering chicken, and the crew asked me, "hang?" ako pud wa ko ka-gets, i just blinked my eyes! it took me seconds before i realized na "halang?" diay iya pasabot

the Cebuano spoken in Davao naman is more "tagalized", and the people there are really known for mixing tagalog and bisaya when speaking

also na-notice ko rin sa Cebuano spoken in Mindanao is the influence of some ilonggo syntax like "gina" like when you say ginahimo, ginahatag..which is absolutely absent in the Cebuano spoken in cebu

lastly, have you heared Surigaonon..? they replace l with y so they call their house: "bayay"

[darmonx]

...It is a sad truth that many of young Cebuano people nowadays cannot speak straight Cebuano. May dalang pagmahay pa.

For non-Cebuano speakers, what words do you want to be translated in Cebuano?

Go!

Another dying filipino language. Ano papalit? Koreano? Dami kasing koreano jan sa Cebu.

And to think this was the first place where filipinos made their first stand against a foreign army (mactan)... really sad indeed.

[beach_babe]

ambot lang gyud pero makakatawa ko sa term nga "magpahulagway"

[FFY.]

Tamad? Pwede rin kapoy. Or if mahilig ka sa gay lingo (no pun intended), yopak. Hahaha!

[beach_babe]

Do you know what is torjak?
