So I may not be sure about how others would do basic greetings in Binukid but this entry is about how I usually hear it here in Bukidnon. We have learned during the previous entry that Maayad ha Pag-uma is a greeting that means Welcome or A Pleasant Arrival to you. Now, we'll do the basic greetings in Binukid which all starts with Maayad (Good or Pleasant):
Good morning: Maayad ha selem or Maayad ha maselem (Sulom, pronounced here as se-lem means morning)
Good noon: Maayad ha udto or Maayad ha maudto (Udto means noon)
Good afternoon: Maayad ha hapon or Maayad ha mahapon (Hapon means afternoon)
Good evening: Maayad ha dalemen (Daluman, pronounced here as da-leh-men means evening)
Good day! (Maayad ha anlaw!) anlaw is the word for day but also is the word for sun which is not hard to comprehend as to why. ;)
