paul Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Maraming salamat MrLee.Actually, and not to sound like a know it all, but "]Maraming Salamat" is in Tagalog. To say thanks in Cebuano, you would say something like "Salamat Kaayo" "Thanks very much", or "Daghang Salamat", "Many Thanks". Walay sapayan noy. :3_8_14[1]:I know Lee was joking. But, "Noy: would typically be used to address an elder person, while "Bay" would be used to address someone of similar age, and "Dong" to address someone younger than you.In addresses females, there are two ways to state it, respectfully, that I know of anyway, in Cebuano. I would address an older woman with "Nang", or a younger, or similarly aged woman with "Day". "Day" and "Dong" are both used in another way. That is, a close couple may use "Day" and "Dong" to address each other, using them as terms of endearment. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lee Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 Hey Paul, it is good to see that you are finally starting to get my distorted sense of humor :3_8_14[1]: I have to pick on Chi anytime I can. I knew some from the other forum would know I was joking since I broke Bob chops on that one a while back when he called me dong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
