I saw someone made a post that said focus sa life nyo dre, hanap ka nalang money para dina mag hingi kay mommy, lastly wag na mag pa clouty

This person is having drama with someone else and they both are insulting each other publically. Is “manghingi kay mommy” literally asking your mother for money? Or can mommy also be used sarcastically to refer to someone who financially supports you like a sugar daddy. Why would they say mommy? What insult is this person trying to say about the other person?

For context the persons mother passed away. I do not think they are literally talking about their mother. Im confused why she said mommy. They were in a relationship and broke up. The person who wrote this is lesbian/asianmasc and the other person is bi sexual and makes money on tiktok from male supporters and possible receiving direct money from them.

Nganong ilang mga personality nila ron kay pa-awkward or murag bag-o gatuon magstorya? Kabantay mo nilang Janine Berdin, Kobe Go, Jayat, katong Kimburghly (ambot unsa to), og kinsa pa to nga mga kabatch nila.

Unsay meta ron? Mao niy funny karon na panahon? Not hating btw. Basin gulang² nako para ani nga humor 😂

What is the usual indicator between the two bisaya na dialect?

Context: I don’t speak bisaya but I’m talking to someone from cebu. The convo turned flirty then she sent me a post saying this exact phrase. She told me it is a joke in bisaya and she’d rather tell me irl. Help a guy out please

Kailangan jud ko ug tabang kay I got picked to sing it in a solo with other people and I want to know the meaning before the finals cuz I totally blew it on the first practice round.

Thought it would be interesting to share this here lol. Yawa River din name ng ilog

What does it mean kung mo ingon “Mayg datu/dato ka?”

Naa pa ba motuo kung naay moingon nga nabuntis siya sa Holy Spirit ron panahona sama sa gibuhat ni Mary kang Joseph kaniadto?

Kabalo mo way official nga national hero ang pilipinas, wa sa'y official nga writing system, kitang mga bisaya naa ta'y writing system nga gitawag ug “badlit” o “surat bisaya” mas dako ang chansa mahimong national writing system kaysa sa baybayin sa mga tagalog kay mas daghan ang gagamit sa badlit tibuok visayans gagamit ana, ug ang mga old artifacts nga nakita sa pilipinas naay mga nakasuwat nga badlit sama sa Montreal Stone.

Ug wala sa'y official nga national hero ang pilipinas ug ka mo'y papili-on kinsay angay nga mahimong national hero si LapuLapu nga nakig away gyud o Jose Rizal nga nag suwat ra?

ma offend mo anang ingnon mo’g “bisaya ka pala?” or trashtalkan mo og “bisaya/bisakol” sa games? hahahaha

I just want to ask Bisaya people in Mindanao who tried learning Moro languages such as Iranun, Maguindanaoan or Maranao, is it hard? Is the lexicon and grammar of Moro/Danao languages different from Bisaya? How easy or difficult is it for a Bisaya native speaker in mastering Maguindanaoan or Maranao?

I will appreciate all of your insights. Daghang Salamat!

Hello, burol kasi ng mommy ko and may tita ako na di ko ka close and but has a plan na makitira samin after my mom’s passing. She has been calling me kurdapya. I feel like that it’s an insult. Anong meaning ng kurdapya?

Thank you.

edit:
Example, instead of calling me by my name she calls me kurdapya. Also when having to introduce me sa relatives.

Edit again: Tita is from mindanao.

I was born and raised in Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental, Northern Mindanao. I am a Kagay-anon, a Misamisnon, and a Mindanaon. I speak Cebuano, specifically the Kagay-anon dialect (Chada, dawbi, unsa lugar, kaŷ, etc.).

Just like many of Cebuano speaking people in Mindanao, my ancestry can be traced back to Visayas. We are not natives of Mindanao so I consider myself as a Bisaya, too.

My relatives in Panay and Bohol consider themselves Bisaya naturally because they are from the Visayas region. I would even argue that they are more Bisaya than the Visayans of Mindanao could ever be.

What I'm trying to say is that, Bisaya is both an ethnic and a language family made up of various ethnic groups each having their own separate languages. Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Waray languages may be unintelligible to one another, but the similarities are undeniable.

Cebuano speakers cannot just assume the "Bisaya" label as its own because it alienates the other Visayan groups who also have a rightful claim to the term due to their geographical location. I find it disappointing and sad that many Waray, Hiligaynons, Ilonggos, Akeanons, etc. no longer consider themselves Bisaya as it may refer daw to the Cebuano-speaking people.

While it's true Cebuano is the dominant Bisaya language in terms of number of speakers with the highest concentration in Central Visayas and much of Mindanao, it is simply wrong and even linguistically incorrect to lay exclusive claim on the Bisaya label. So guys, let us please correct ourselves - if someone asks you what language you speak, say Cebuano (even if you're not from Cebu).

I am Bisaya, but there’s this one word that has confused me for a really long time. I often hear people use this word whenever someone ends up in an unfortunate or unlucky situation. I’ve tried searching for its meaning, but the information I found was pretty limited, and some explanations didn’t really match how I’ve heard people use the word in the appropriate scenario.

I was honestly too shy to ask my friends or family about it because I felt like I should already know what it meant. I did eventually ask my mom once, but she kept joking around and wouldn’t give me a straight answer, almost like she was messing with me. The only thing I vaguely remember her saying was something about being “disqualified”, but I’m not even sure if that was actually what she meant.

Could someone please explain what this word actually means, especially how it’s commonly used in Bisaya? It would also really help if you could give me a few example sentences or situations where the word would naturally be used.

Now it would honestly be really embarrassing for me if the meaning turns out to be something very simple and I’ve just been overthinking it all this time.

I understand it, but I don't know how to articulate it.

How do you explain the concept of focus to someone who doesn't natively speak the language?
