Hi Johnny. Thanks for this question. Actually, my lesson is just transforming singular words to plural. Example: dog-iro, dogs-mga iro But when you say: many dogs-daghang iro Also: The dogs are many. Daghan ang mga iro. Hope it answered your question. 😉😉
This is helping me out so much! My girlfriend is Filipina, and she’s moving to the states soon and I’ve decided to learn this so that way she doesn’t feel like she doesn’t have to not use it!!
Another awesome, easy to understand lesson. I can hear mga clearly the way you say it. Thank you for being such a great teacher. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Teacher Jonah for making my request a reality. your videos are very good, and you have very much patience. Your a Godsend. please continue this great service.
my girlfriend who i love very much is from Davao and I am trying to learn Bisaya for when i can go out there again. Could you do a video of kitchen and cooking themes, basic foods and meals please? I love your videos and I am learning so much, sometimes though when i listen with headphones the music can be distracting Thank you Jason
Salamat kaayo, Jonah for another great lesson! I have one question. Why was "ang" only used in the 3rd example with the bitin and not just "ug" like the other examples?
Hi Oliver as of this time, I do not do live videos. Do you want a live video teaching? If a lot of you want it, I can schedule one for you, my dear learners.

I struggle to clearly understand the Bisaya definitions of singular (one) vs plural (many) cats. For the plural: MGA Cat = MANY Cats MGA Cat = MORE THAN ONE Cat [My belief] Which is correct? It seems more logical that Bisaya would be trying to show the difference between singular (one) vs the [English] plural (more than one - instead of many), which would be saying like one or two, or so, other cats being included in the plural, but not a whole clowder (many) of cats included in the plural, though that is not excluded. In English, the plural indicates “more than one.” In English, “many” means “a lot” of cats, which is different. Indicating something is plural says that you can imagine a range of numbers of them being the same things, from one more than one, to two more of than one, and so on, up to some reasonable number of extra cats. If I say “cats,” I am saying “more than one cat,” and generally speaking, I would imagine that “cats” refers to two, or three cats being talked about, not an extreme number of them, say 100 cats. Bisaya: Ang cat. (One cat. A precise statement: there is only one cat.) English: A cat. (One cat. A precise statement: there is only one cat.) Bisaya: Mga cats. (Many cats. An imprecise statement that indicates a lot of cats, more cats than you would normally expect to see.) English: Cats. (More than one cat. An imprecise statement, but certainly more than one cat, and normally just a few) Many cats. (An imprecise statement suggesting an unexpectedly large number of cats.) [Sorry, my writing tends to be highly repetitive, with little meaningful change in each repetition.] Note: My only Bisaya text is a Cebuano text “A Handbook of Cebuano” by Anssi & Nida Raisanen. I tried to look up the definition of the plural “mga,” only to find that they introduced the plural by saying on Page 108 1) Plural. . . you put the word “mga” in front of the noun. . . as if the word “plural” needed no explanation. Then they want on to provide a number of exceptions. It’s no wonder I could not learn Bisaya from this book.

instead of saying Mga , can you say daghan..... Mga Unggoy or Daghan unggoy.... Do they mean the same or is grammatically wrong ?
Hi Johnny. Thanks for this question. Actually, my lesson is just transforming singular words to plural.
Example: dog-iro, dogs-mga iro
But when you say: many dogs-daghang iro
Also: The dogs are many.
Daghan ang mga iro.
Hope it answered your question. 😉😉

I’m learning from the other lessons but it’s hard to pronounce!
no worries. take it one step at a time.
The name "Post Mortim" means ,"dead"
yeah
Did you know that Bisaya have also plural in adjective ? ex. Dako - Dagko. So ex. Dagkong isda would mean big fishes can be understood
Good to note. Thanks
