Here and There

Maayad ha maudto mga suled ko!

(If you refer to my other entry you'll know that this translates to: Good noon my sibling!)

I may have been gone for a while but I'm back with another entry and I have new set of words and terms for you! 

Let's check out the words Here and there. According to wiki.answers.com: "Here" and "There" show relationship in time or space. "I put the chair here then there." The chair was in one place and then in another place. Here is in your personal space, there is somewhere not in your personal space.

To translate this in Binukid, we (or the beginner that I am) use dini and diya for here and there respectively. I say that the beginner in me use those two terms because I have noticed that natives have other ways of expressing here and there. But anyway, let us use these in examples.

1) Our gathering will be here at the plaza (as in venue) -- DINI ta plaza sa pag-amul-amul taw

• Gathering - Pag-amul-amul (Amul is the root word which means gather)
• Taw - I usually use the word "taw" to denote our

2) Throw it there at the corner or side -- Idagha DIYA ta digsul

• Idagha - means to throw
• Digsul - at the corner or at the side

So there. ;) Let's check some more words this week
