Long time no SEE!!

I'm going to stay this weekend at the Talaandig community in Songco so I thought of doing a blogpost today!

Let us do Binukid VOCABULARY today! Here are five random Binukid words I chose. They're random I say, because they really are. Haha.

1. banuwa means town/place or in the Filipino term: baryo.

• One usually reads the Binukid sign Kanak ha Banuwa or Maayad ha pag-uma ta Kanak ha Banuwa when one arrives at Bukidnon. These translate to My Place/My Town OR Welcome to My Town/My Place respectively

2. wahig means water

3. panayo means to ask

• You say agpanayo (the act of asking). For example agpanayo a ho wahig means I am asking for water or give me water in Binukid

4. uhol means hunger while lauhan means thirst. 

• agkauhol a daw agkalauhan means I am hungry and thirsty

5. tagunok/tagun'k (pronounced as ta-ge-nek) means mosquito

• example: madakel sa tagun'k (there are a lot of mosquitoes or maraming lamok in Filipino)

Binukid words words words!! :)
