Tingbukad - actually, tingbukad means blooming time or season when flowers bloom, in this case, it means the day that opens the week.

Baylo-baylo - means, interchange

What to say when you accidentally throw bad odor or gas and belch in Bisaya

2024-05-14T07:22:00.000-07:00

Different situations may require different expressions to prevent it from becoming a sticky one.

Here are three situations where you are likely to say Excuse me, however, in Bisaya or Cebuano, you may have to use different expressions in order for it to be appropriate and to be easily understood and you will not be viewed as rude or having no manners. Remember that exhibiting proper manners is important anywhere in the world.

1. If you want to say sorry for belching or throwing bad odor/gas, you may say: "Pasayloa ko." or "Pasensya." Pasayloa ko means, I'm sorry/Forgive me, while Pasensya means excuse me, and is colloquial, very casual.

the Star

2. When you want to ask politely some people who are blocking your way to let you pass, you can say: Pasensya. (Excuse me, also casual way of saying i'm sorry).

from Flicker

3. The last expression would be Tabi, palihog (Excuse me, please). This is also used when we want to get someone's attention or approach someone. Like in this case, a tourist or traveller wants to ask the help of a local, so he approaches the local and says, Tabi palihog. After getting the attention of the local, the tourist can now ask the local for information.

Fluentu

There are three ways to say excuse me:

a. Pasayloa ko, which means I'm sorry/I apologize.forgive me.

b. Pasensya, Excuse me, which is very casual way.

c. Tabi, palihog, Excuse me, which is used on a case-to-case basis.

How do you like your steak? - Bisaya version

2024-02-27T19:43:00.000-08:00

So, How do you like your steak? Wouldn't you like to know how to say this in Bisaya? I just got inspired to write about this, just in case, you find this useful in the future or just impress your Visayan friends to use this knowledge of yours.

We all know that eat-all-you-can restaurants and buffets are proliferating in the market. So you will have a chance to say these lines. Just a caveat though, steak is really not a traditional food in the Visayas or maybe in the Philippines because Visayan palate is more used to seafood; that's why sutukil restaurants are more abundant in the Visayan region.

How do you like your steak?

Unsang lutoa ang ganahan nimo sa imong steak?

Unsaon nato pagluto ang imong steak?

Just rare.

Rare lang. /hilaw-hilaw pa.

Just medium rare.

Malasado lang.

Well done.

Maayong pagkaluto.

Adlaw sa Valentines ug Miyerkulis sa Badlis ang February 14, 2024 -- Quick Cebuano Lesson

2024-02-13T22:06:00.000-08:00

Lent came early this year, because Ash Wednesday and Valentines Day both fell on the same date. Well, it has been undeniably hot these days, so Filipinos really felt the scorching heat and despite getting used to the sun and its unbearable might, it still felt like a great sacrifice and suffering (although not as much as painful as Christ suffered for our sins.) for Filipinos to go out and do their usual tasks.

Valentine's Day - Adlaw sa mga Kasing-kasing.

Ash Wednesday - Mirkulis sa Badlis

Cebuano for Tourists Part 1

2024-01-30T08:22:00.000-08:00

I have received many requests to create a material for tourists. So this is my first output. This is just the basic ones, there are more that I will create in the next blog entries. If you want to know how each one is pronounced or spoken, just click here for the link.

I cannot stress enough how people appreciate it when tourists would try to express themselves in the local language, in this case in Cebuano.

Though there is no pressure for you to speak the Cebuano language, especially if you don't intend to stay long in the Visayan area or Mindanao area, still it pays to know some useful expressions to facilitate your trip around the Visayan and Mindanao regions.

Do you know this Cebuano word? PUHON

2024-01-16T16:53:00.000-08:00

Filipinos are basically fatalistic people. Before they begin doing something, they should first invoke the blessing of the Lord or whoever they worship to. Religious belief is an essential part of life of Filipinos. Filipinos generally believe in God and have their own belief or religious affiliation. When they meet someone who says that they don't have a religion, chances are, the ordinary Filipino will not understand it so it might require a lot of explanation. Having no religious affiliation is a foreign thing to them. I always advise any student of mine to just say he is a Buddhist or a Taoist or another sort of belief or religious affiliaton so that there will be no explanation needed unless of course someone asks how they worship or if their religion has some kind of a mass or a liturgical celebration or the like, then that will be an explanation that's necessary. Filipinos can be nosy like that so foreigners need to be honest

Cebuanos have an expression puhon. Before they embark on something, they say puhon. I believe puhon means Godwilling or if God permits or by God's will. Sometimes it also means "in the future." Here are some examples of usage of puhon.

Moadto ko sa Cordova ugma puhon.

I will go to Cordova tomorrow, Godwilling.

Mopalit unya ko puhon og yuta sa Moalboal.

I will buy a piece of land in Moalboal in the future, if God permits.

Pamakasyon unya mo puhon diri sa amo.

You must go on vacation here at our place in the future.

from elitedaily

So impress the Cebuano natives by throwing this expression in between plans that you are making with your lady love. Just say 'puhon.' No need for sentences.

If your fiancee says, "Let's go to the beach tomorrow." just say, " Sure, puhon, puhon. "

Saying puhon means that you hope that whatever plans you make will push through.

How to call your boyfriend or girlfriend in Bisaya

2024-01-09T03:23:00.000-08:00

Do you have an uyab (boyfriend or girlfriend? It will be the love month soon, so let's talk about how to call your boyfriend or your girlfriend in Bisaya.

First things first, a nickname is an angga. Filipinos are fond of using angga, instead of calling someone by his/her real name. For example: Antonio's angga is Tony. Roberto's angga is Bert, etc. or it could be any term that people identify themselves to. For example: Jessica can be called Candy, simply because she loves candies as a kid or because it sounds sweet, like her.

You can also call your uyab using different anggas. For example:

My king - akong hari

My queen - akong rayna

My prince - akong prinsipe

My princess - akong prinsesa

My dear/My love - My pinangga

My beloved - My hinigugma

Commander - kumander

Sometimes some couples refer to their partners as commander because they are scared of them, in a kidding manner. Their partner's wish is their command.

If you can think of other nicknames for your beloved, do comment on the comment section.

Kita ta puhon.

Happy New Year 2024 (Bisaya or Cebuano)

2023-12-25T18:32:00.000-08:00

How do Cebuanos/the Bisaya people greet Happy New Year? They say: Malipayong Bag-ong Tuig! (click on the greeting to hear the proper pronunciation and intonation.)

What are the common practices of Pinoys (Filipinos) in welcoming the new year?

Before the strict regulations of the government against firecrackers, Filipinos would light firecrackers on the streets, in their backyard before 12:00 strikes at midnight of December 31 to drive away the bad luck of the old year. Nowadays, the government prohibits some kind of firecrackers from being sold in the market. Only those that are safe for the environment and for the users can be sold. Here in Luzon, the firecracker capital is Bocaue, Bulacan. In some parts of the country like Mindanao, firecrackers are totally banned. I think this practice of using firecrackers was introduced by the Chinese culture.

from Vecteezy

The Filipino families also share what they call 'medya noche' at 12:00. The food they prepare consists of sweets (cakes, flans, salads) to maintain good relationship among family members. The Pinoys also believe that preparing a fruit basket of 12 round fruits of assorted kind also brings prosperity for the entire year. So expect that the prices of fruits go high during the height of the celebration.

from: Ay ang sarap...

. Before 2023 ends, let me greet you:

MALIPAYONG BAG-ONG TUIG!!!

Should the Foreigner Pay For the Entire Meal If he invites a Filipino/Filipinos to Dine Out With Him?

2023-12-04T08:45:00.000-08:00

from Philippine Primer

Kyle, an American, spent five years of his primary school in a quaint little town in the Philippines. During that time, he acquired the local language and imbibed local traits and practices. When he began his middle high years, he returned to the US with this family. For almost 30 years, communication between his elementary school friends and classmates was non existent and the traits and values he imbibed while he was in the Philippines were replaced by American values and traits. And then the Internet was created and communication among friends, schoolmates and classmates was initiated and became consistent until Kyle decided to spend a week's vacation in the Philippines. He immediately informed his former friends, classmates, and teachers about his plan and even invited them for dinner. All those who have heard of this got excited and since they all wanted to see Kyle and catch up, they accepted his invitation, plus the prospect of a delicious dinner was too tempting to refuse. The subject of who was going to pay for the dinner never arose.

Finally, the day of the meeting among former friends, classmates, schoolmates and teachers has arrived. It started pleasantly. Pleasantries were exchanged, Kyle got reacquainted with his former classmates and teachers. Dinner went smoothly, everyone enjoyed chatting with each other as some of them also have not seen each other for a looong time. So it became a reunion of sort.

So finally, dinner would eventually finish and come to a close. Those who came exchanged contact details, shared more anecdotes; the paying of the meal was really the elephant in the room. It seems that nobody wanted to bring the matter up. So finally, Kyle called the waiter (who probably was hovering for the longest time and was impatiently waiting for the time that someone would have the guts to ask for the check) and asked for the check.

Upon receiving the check, Kyle calculated and divided the amount according to the number of people who came. After doing so, he told each one to contribute a certain amount.

Which of the following do you think happened after?

1. Everyone was happy to chip in.

2. Everyone was shocked that Kyle, the American, who is supposed to be earning dollars, asked them to chip in.

3. The teachers did not expect to be asked to pay.

4. Everyone reluctantly paid and thought, I thought that that was a free dinner or Kyle's treat.

5. Everyone thought Kyle should have told us earlier that this was a K-K-B (Kanya-Kanyang Bayad, each one pay for what he ordered) so that I would be ready or I'd come prepared.

6. Kyle was thinking this is how we do it in the States, guys. Thought you already know by now. America may be great, but money does not grow on trees there. We work our butts off too.

You can share your thoughts in the comments section. This scenario will be processed soon.

Happy Thanksgiving Day (Bisaya)

2023-11-22T22:00:00.000-08:00

from Hindustan Times

I just want to greet all my tigbasa (readers) a Happy Thanksgiving Day. Here in the Philippines, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving Day. But we do believe that every day is Thanksgiving Day.

In the US, it is sometimes called Happy Turkey Day. However, all pabo/s (turkey/s) must be dreading this day.

There are many things we should be thankful for, one is the gift of kinabuhi (life) and two, pamilya/banay (family), and three, tanan mga materyal ug dili materyal nga mga grasya (all material and non-material blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to all.

Eating Invitations in the Philippines, There's more than meets the eye.

2023-10-09T18:10:00.002-07:00

After that culture quiz about Food and Eating in the Philippines, someone asked me what is the right thing to do when he is invited to eat by some Filipinos. Eating invitations need some subtle observations. But the rule of thumb is, always be polite.

from foodphilippines.com

Filipinos are basically kind people, whenever they are eating outside their homes and there are people around, they always say, "Let's eat." Now, this doesn't mean you are literally invited to eat, they are just being polite. For Filipinos, it is rude to be eating and let others watch them while eating. This is sometimes called a token invitation. Now, if they know that they have more than enough, they will give a portion to you. That is when they know they have more than enough for them. Now, if they hand you that piece of food, you must be polite and accept it. Because that is a sincere offering.

Sometimes, while inside the bus and Filipinos feel like eating, they would open their 'baon' or snacks with them, even if the person sitting beside them is a stranger, it is polite to say, Let's eat. And the stranger must be polite in return, and say, Thank you, I'm full. Or just say, Go ahead.

Basically, eating invitations in the Philippines can be tricky. In the first situation, if you are a guest who happen to be just with a family as they are having lunch, the most polite thing to do is to make an excuse that you are still full or have just eaten. Especially if the family seems to be a big one, chances are, the food might be enough for them only. They would also feel embarrassed if you will not be full enough. So that is one of their worries. The initial invitation is always a token one. Wait for a few minutes and another invitation will be coming which is now a sincere one. Now, if the houseowners believe they have more than enough, they will put a chair for you and a plate too. That means you have to sit and join them.

Sometimes, if you are really full and they give you something that you can just bring with you like a sandwich, a sealed biscuit , a piece of fruit or something that you can take with you, simply tell them, can I just take it with me? That is better than leave it lying around. However, the tendency would be they will give you more, so simply just say, I live alone, I can't eat a lot.

Can you answer this test about Filipino Culture Part 2? When is the best time to open gifts?

2023-09-05T05:03:00.022-07:00

We have formally started the long Christmas celebration in the Philippines😀. You know how it is in the Philippines, once the 'ber' months start, the atmosphere becomes festive and joyous. Filipinos are already planning to shop for gifts for their loved ones and for the Christmas parties that will start even at the later part of November. Just so you know, gift giving is really personal to Filipinos.

Which brings us to the question, when is the right time to open a gift? Should you open it, in front of the gift giver? Should you open it with everyone watching? Must you have a right expression when you open someone's gift to you?

I don't want to sound like a party pooper but this is very important. So here are four (4) situations that most likely you will encounter while you are in the Philippines.

Scenario 1. You receive a gift from your lady love/sweetheart. She took pains in buying it. She carefully planned it to surprise you. Finally, the time has arrived for her to give it to you. Upon receiving it, what will you do?

A. Open it right away, without any clue about what it is and be prepared for both your reactions.

B. Delay the opening, do a guessing game, until she gives a hint about what it is and that's the time you open it (Because you are sure you are going to like it.)

C. Tell her you want to open it in private.

Scenario 2. Christmas parties are a big thing in the Philippines especially to the Catholics because they celebrate Christmas. Expect that offices will hold Christmas parties and there will be gift-giving and exchanging gifts, food galore, games and prizes. Just pure entertainment and fun.

During exchanging gifts time, what will you do?

A. Open the gift that you receive immediately.

B. Wait until everybody starts opening theirs.

C. Take a peek on what's inside by making a small tear

in one area, if you like it, that's the time you tear open the wrapper.

Scenario 3. For ladies only, once your sweetheart asks for your hand in marriage, and takes out an engagement ring, what will you do?

A. Gush over the ring, the proposal and accept it

instantly.

B. Refuse it (which is really a crazy thing to do)

C. Share the news to everyone and be proud of it.

Scenario 4. You receive a big package from home (overseas or local). You have no idea what's inside. The other people know you received a package from home. What's the best thing to do?

A. Take the package in your room and open it there.

B. Upon opening the package from your home (overseas or local), you give some shareable like food stuff or other small items with the locals or your friends.

C. Don't share whatever was in the package and let everyone wonder what you received.

D. Don't give anything and let them think what a thoughtless or greedy person you are.

E. Open it in front of everyone and be ready if they start asking for some items.

So based on the situations, you now have an idea on what time you can open the gift before the gift giver and when you should not. Remember to thank the gift giver, whether you like the gift or not.

Choose the best option or options:

1. Accept the invitation immediately (without thinking if the food is enough only for the family or that the invitation was a token only).

2. Make an excuse that you are full or just eaten even if you are dying to try what they are about to eat and very hungry.

3. Wait for a second invitation or a third invitation.

4. Wait until the family gives you a seat at the table and put a plate before you.
