Lesson 1: Simple Pronouns

Lesson 1: Simple Pronouns

Ok so, I’m starting off with pronouns because it’s super easy to start speaking Cebuano with the pronouns.

Also, just fyi, if I start sounding super fob-y, it’s cuz I need to get into a Bisaya mood, gets ka? (you get what I mean/you understand?)

Anyway, with pronouns you can do a lot of things. You can say, “tired ko” (I’m tired). And that makes perfect sense to a cebuano. We never speak straight Cebuano, we probably don’t even know how.

Simple Pronouns (Subjective)

	Full	short
1st person singular (I/me)	Ako	ko
2nd person singular (you)	Ikaw	Ka
3rd person singular (he/she)	Siya/sya
1st person plural inclusive (we including you)	Kita	Ta
1st person plural exclusive (we not including you)	Kami	Mi
2nd person plural (you guys)	Kamo	Mo
3rd person plural (they)	sila

Use the short version when it comes at the end of the sentence. Like, “I’m hungry” – “Hungry/Gutom ko”
