Command/Request/Imperative Sentence:
When we say command maybe it is strong word but in Bisaya/Cebuano as long as you put the palihog it means please infront or the the end of the sentence, it make the command sentence flow politely.
*When you request/command to only one person the you it means ka in Cebuano is understood..
*But when you request/command to two or more persons then you need to mention the kamo it means you (pl).
In the Command/Request/Imperative Form this is the formula:
Formula:
Verb + kamo + verb root
Simple request/command sentence.

About Bebe
Kamusta ka Bebe,
This is funny, I ask today what the word for “please” was in bisaya to Rose.
Actually, she said, they usually use the word “please” in english mostly there in Southern Leyte.
Thanks for the lessons Bebe,
Danny
Thank you so much for the lessons. They’re great!
I just found this great website to learn vocab:
http://albis.vetsin.com/
they have Cebuano. It can be frustrating and fun at the same time you have to learn a bunch of words before you can move onto the next level. I think one you get a large pot of vocab in your head then it will make learning the sentence structure easier.
Thanks Bebe for the lesson I have learned a lot and hope you will keep this up. Maybe you could write a book and have Bob sell if for you.
