By:Mark Rubrico

A lot can be learned from asking questions in Cebuano then looking at their equivalent phrases in English. As we all know there is no substitute to learning a language than actually using it. This list of the most Common Questions that are used every day in "real life" Cebuano will be helpful to your introduction to the language.

A. Common Question 1: "Where are you Going?"

English - "Cebuano"

Where are you going? - "Asa ka man paingon"

I am going to school - "Moadto ko sa eskwelahan"

I am going to the market - "Moadto ko sa merkado

I am going to the church - "Moadto ko sa simbahan"

I am going to Cebu - "Moadto ko sa Cebu"

I am going home now - "Mopauli na ako"

B. Common Question 2: "Have you eaten?"

English - "Cebuano"

Have you eaten? - "Nakakaon ka na ba?"

I have not yet eaten - "Wala pa ko nakakaon"

C. Common Question 3: " How old are you?"

English - "Cebuano"

Practice these questions first by reciting them to yourself. After you a while try to talk to a Cebuano speaker to get answers to the questions and to start conversing with them. Remember it's not that difficult to learn Cebuano once you really put your heart into it. With the proper introduction to the language and the best Cebuano material available you'll learn Cebuano quickly and easily.
