Siblings are our brothers and sisters, and it's important to be able to refer to them accurately in Cebuano. Here are the words for brother and sister:

{| class="wikitable"

Note that in Cebuano, the words for grandfather and grandmother differ depending on whether they are paternal or maternal. Nanay and Tatay are the more common terms for mother and father, respectively. Bata (meaning child) may be used to refer to a boy or girl, while ate and kuya are used specifically for referring to older siblings. Meanwhile, imoaw and himuaw are used for younger siblings.
Example sentences:

Friends and neighbors are an important part of our social circle. Let's learn how to refer to them in Cebuano:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"

| Higala || /hi-ga-la/ || Friend
|-
|-

| Silingan || /si-ling-an/ || Neighbor
|}
|}


In Cebuano, amigo and amiga are Spanish loan words and are often used interchangeably with higala.
Example sentences:

* Siya akong suod nga higala. (He is my close friend.)
In Cebuano culture, the concept of "utang na loob" or gratitude plays a significant role in relationships. It is expected that children show respect and gratitude towards their parents and elders. This cultural value is reflected in the language, where specific terms are used to address older relatives and people in positions of authority.
* Palihug, unsa man imong ngalan, agalon? (Excuse me, what's your name, neighbor?)
* Mga silingan lang mi niya sa among balay. (We are just neighbors in the same household.)

Another interesting aspect of Cebuano culture is the importance of "padayon" or moving forward. Cebuanos are known for their resilience and determination to overcome challenges. This mindset is deeply ingrained in the language and can be seen in various expressions and idioms.

== Practice Scenarios ==
