How much would it generally cost for a Bisayan language tutor per hour? Is that something people do?
Hi! I don't want to write something very long so I'll just go straight to the point of this post. I'm planning to create a Bisaya conlang, or a constructed language, based from already existing Bisayan languages such as Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Waray, Kiniray-a, Surigaonon, etc. but to do this, I would need help from a lot of people, especially those who speak any of the Bisayan languages including those languages that I mentioned earlier. Speakers of other languages may also join. If you're interested, you can join the subreddit r/BisayaConLang. If you have some questions regarding this or anything in particular, you can comment on this post, send me a personal message, or join the chat room in the subreddit. The details of constructing the language and other information can also be found at the subreddit, so be sure to check it out.
###SAMPLE SENTENCES:
* Visayan: Anu ini?
* English: What is this?
* Filipino: Ano ito?
* Visayan: Ina' an akon ginpangita'.
* English: That is the thing I was looking for.
* Filipino: Iyan ang aking hinahanap.
* Visayan: Agun di' ku mawala', naningkamut ku sin kaput kanimu.
* English: So that I won't get lost, I am holding your hand tightly.
* Filipino: Upang di ako mawala, nagsumikap ako sa paghawak sa'yo.
For speakers of other Bisayan languages, how much can you understand from the song lyrics below?
"Bisan Pa" san Wetslipperz
Dili' sayun an kalimtan ka
Hangtud karun aku naghulat pa
Nga maibalik pa an kahapun ta
Bisan pa nga aku ginkalimtan mu na
Bisan pa nga may lain ka na karun
Ikaw la gihapun an higugmaun
Bisan pa nga kasakit la an maangkun
Basta malipay ka, an tanan akun dawatun
Nakita' ku karun an kahimtang mu
Lain la giud san aku pa an kaupud mu
Sa iya kilid pagkamalipayun mu
Kug aku yari naghandum nga balikun mu
Hangtud karun aku limaum la gihapun
Nga umabut an panahun nga imu balikun
I hope you're staying safe out there!
Ari na ko!
This seems like something that would already have studies about it, but I can't find any. So does anyone know why Bisaya/Cebuano, a Philippine language, uses the O/U sound (I'll just treat them as interchangeable because most words spelled with O in Bisaya are pronounced as U anyway) while Tagalog uses I in similar words?
Bisaya and Tagalog vocabulary is very different from each other, but like Bisaya and Bahasa Indonesian, there are still some similar words thanks to the fact that they're Malayo-Polynesian languages. I noticed that Bisaya often uses O/U for those similar words and Tagalog uses I.
Examples:
lawom - deep (Bisaya)
lalim - deep (Tagalog)
maaslom (archaic form of aslom) - sour (Bisaya)
maasim - sour (Tagalog)
tanum - plant (Bisaya)
tanim - plant (Tagalog)
dag-om - gloomy (Bisaya)
dilim - darkness/gloom (Tagalog)
bituon - star (Bisaya)
bituin - Tagalog
"I will cook this" would be "Ako ni lutuon" in Bisaya and "Lulutuin ko ito" in Tagalog. Does anyone know why?
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
You take away their little brooms
