Help me(28m) ask a girl(23f)to be my girlfriend

So I’ve started seeing this girl, I’m American she is Filipina and got to the US a couple months ago on a work visa. I met her pretty soon after she got here and we have been on a few dates and I like her a lot I know she likes me a lot too we get along really good. Her English is good, but I’d like to ask her out in her language.

So basically if someone could tell me how to say “will you be my girlfriend” and how to pronounce it in bisaya. I know she will say yes, but I want to make it cute for her.

Help me officially start something with someone I really think could be the one! Thank you I really appreciate it.

**Update: I went with the first one and practiced it for a while, she said yes and understood what I was saying it was perfect. So thank you to everyone especially the top poster. She’s my girl now :)

Tabang! Sa mga expert ug electrical wirings

32amps na mga circuit breaker, nya ang gigamit kay 2x2.0mm wire duplex katong puti. Okay ra ba na?

I read nga naa daw appropriate wire gauge for each breakers and currently ang wire na gigamit kay mismatch.

32 amps - refrigerator outlet 32 amps - aircon 1hp 20amps - lightings and 6 outlets

Ang main concern nako is ang wire gauge nga gigamit sa 32amps na cb kay 2x2.0mm.

Ang kinabuhi mura'g lisud nga exam—nagpataka lang ta'g tubag, nanghinaot nga makakuha ug puntos. Pero bisan pa ug mapakyas ta, makakuha gihapon ta'g maayo nga pagkatinuon aron kataw-an ang kalisod.

Wla nko kasabot skong kinabuhi. Wla ko kabalo unsa pa akong purpose sa life. Every mata nko sa buntag, wla ko kabalo unsa akong buhaton para ma excite ko nga nakamata pko. My life is so worthless. Kapoooy kaayo ko as in super drained, nya wla mn unta koy gibuhat na makapakapoy skong lawas, pero usahay dli nko kabakod sa kakapoy. Mangutana ang uban about me, wla jud koy ikatubag kay dli interesting akong life. Boring akong tibuok pagkatao. Sometimes lami kaayo mohilak habang ga work. Wla njud ko kasabot. Na feel na ni ninyo? I dont like this mn oy. I dont like these feelings gyud. Kung ing ani mn gali akong kinabuhi sa hantod2 maypag dli nlng ko pamathon :(( im tired.

Diba ilang-ilang?” 💀 di na ko. Kinahanglan naay mother tongue subject. Ikaw? unsa imong experience?

Thesis Survey for Teaching Cebuano Language to the Children of Filipino Diaspora Parents

Hello everyone!

I am conducting a survey as part of my project on “Teaching Cebuano Language Using Toys and Stories to Children of the Filipino diaspora”. If you’re a Cebuano or Filipino parent who have a child from 3-8 years old, and is interested in teaching your child your mother tongue, please take a few minutes to share your thoughts by clicking the link below:

https://forms.gle/T5JaZv4iwjY8A2Nx8

As I don’t have much relatives and connections who are living abroad, your responses are incredibly valuable and would be of great help to my study. Rest assured, all personal information will be kept confidential, and will only be used to support my study. It is also appreciated if you can also share this link your fellow parents in your area.

Thank you so much for your time and support! :)

Spelling in Bisaya

In Bisaya, would you say all words are phonetically consistent with how they are spelled and pronounced, or is it more similar to English, since English borrows words from multiple languages?

I ask this because I am sort of confused by how some Cebuano speakers online will spell certain words differently than others. And I think this issue is primarily with English and Spanish loan words in our language.

  • poydi, pwede
  • klasi, klase
  • buysit, bwesit

Another thing that confuses me is spelling of two words:

  • nga or ng?
  • Some Bisaya speakers I talk to make the distinction between "ug" (&) and "og" (a/an), and some say there is no distinction.
  • How is "u" sounds distinguished by "o" sounds?

Also, do you think Bisayas should use accents to distinguish words with similar spelling, distinguished only by a single stress of a specific syllable?

  • basa (read), basá (wet)
  • labay (dispose), labáy (pass by)
  • wala (left), walá (none or nothing)
  • tulo (three), tuló (dripping)
  • kalayo (fire), ka-layó (very far)

Translation of 'ay dipuga ka karun' in English?

Hi, half-Pinoy FilAm here. My family is from Cebu and Negros, so they speak to each other in a mix of Bisaya and Ilonggo. My mom never taught me the language(s), so I only know what I've managed to pick up from her and my family when I go back home every few years. Growing up she'd talk to me in English, but would throw in Bisaya or Ilonggo when she got angry ('ikaw ha!' jas ko!', etc.).

When I was younger she'd say 'Ay dipuga ka karun!' when I misbehaved, but would claim she doesn't know how to translate it to English when asked what it means. She said it was Ilonggo, but I tried to Google it and it came up with nothing. But Google translate says dipuga is 'strangle' in Bisaya. So does that make it equivalent to 'I'm gonna strangle you!' in English, or does it mean something else?

-a vs -i suffix for imperative

Hindi ako native speaker pero nakaka-intindi ako, nahirapan lang ako sa kalisod magsalita🤣 Hanggang ngayon nalilito pa din ako kung ano ang tamang suffix gamitin for imperative, yung -i ba or yung -a? example "buksan mo" in tagalog. Is it "abriha" or "abrihi". Bigyan, is it "tagaa" or "tagai". May strict rule ba regarding sa kung anong gagamitin or interchangeable naman sila?

Found several letters on my Father's cabinet.

Hello, mag ask lang ako. Di po kasi talaga ako nakakaintindi ng bisaya. Pero nakakita po ako ng mga letters sa cabinet ni papa. Para syang sworn letters. I found several words like "palet sa title" "mahingutang" "Pera in pesos tas may digit kung magkano" "puno". Then may pangalan and pirma. Meron po kasi kaming lupa sa probinsya na may mga puno po ng buko. Ilang letters din po ito same ng concept. May 2 po akong hinala. Either si papa po ang nagpapabili ng puno or sinasangla kay papa ang puno. Ang problema di ko masyadong na observe yung letter dahil nakita ako ni papa hahahaha pero yung gulat nya ay kakaiba. Curious lang ako kasi baka mamaya may utang na pala kami or ano man. Nahihiya naman po akong magtanong kasi parang personal sa kanya po
