Hi Cebuano learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to give your opinion in Cebuano. We will look at the different ways to express your opinion and how to use them in a sentence.
Expressing Your Opinion
Giving your opinion in Cebuano is quite simple. There are two main ways to do it: using the words mahinungdanon or mahimong.
The word mahinungdanon is used when you agree with something. For example, if someone says "It's a nice day today", you can reply with "Mahinungdanon" to show that you agree.
The word mahimong is used when you disagree with something. For example, if someone says "It's a bad day today", you can reply with "Mahimong" to show that you disagree.
Example Sentences
| Cebuano | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| Mahinungdanon | mah-hee-nuhng-dah-nohn | I agree |
| Mahimong | mah-hee-mohng | I disagree |
| Ang kahayag mao ang mahinungdanon | ahng kah-hah-yahg mah-oh ahng mah-hee-nuhng-dah-nohn | The view is good |
| Ang kahayag dili mahimong | ahng kah-hah-yahg dee-lee mah-hee-mohng | The view is not good |
You can also use the words mahinungdanon and mahimong to express your opinion about a person or situation. For example, if someone asks you what you think of their new haircut, you can say "Mahinungdanon" to show that you like it.
