Introductions, perhaps?

Before I hit the sack now, I'd like to share two introductory phrases/questions you can use for yourself or when trying to interpret what a native/Binukid speaker says to you or when you want to ask the other person to know more about him or her. Let us take these as examples:

1) Inu sa ngaran nu? What is your name?
inu - what
sa - is (oftentimes it is used as the: sa kagpa, the chest)
ngaran - name (Tagalog/Visayan: ngalan or pangalan)
nu - your (example: suled nu, your sibling)

• This question may be answered by using or starting with Ako hi (pronounced as a-ko hee, I am..) or you can say *insert name* sa ngaran ko (*insert name* is my name)

2) Hindu ka tagtima? Where do you live?
Hindu - where
ka - you
tima - live or reside

• You may respond with Tagtima ah ta *insert place* (I live at *insert place*) or when you're from quite a farther place you may use Napoon ah ta *insert place* (I am from *insert place*)
• If you notice, ta has been used in both answers. ta is usually used to denote a place. It may loosely translate to AT (making it so easy to remember). When you arrive at Bukidnon, you'll often see the welcome sign that says: "Maayad ha pag-uma dini TA Bukidnon" which means (if you remember the first post) A pleasant arrival dini (here) ta (at) Bukidnon!

Hope you learned even a tiny bit, stranger :) Hehe.
Kitakits ulit soon! :)
