With help of this site and Google translate, trying to understand conversations is the first step to getting to know the language.
What I experienced so far is that for a lot of words there are totaly different meanings, usualy asking friends and even them sometimes doubt, then i'm even more schocked how difficult this is hehe
This one, for example... gives different results
i try my best bisaya, someone ask me if im in the city, i reply "Cge Cge' to reply affirmative, then they reply "Aw hahah ali balai" Ali can have different meanings, so I'm a bit confused... but thinkign it's an invite , right?
Yes your friend is inviting
Yes your friend is inviting you to come to her/his house.
ali is shor for Dali wich means come here and balai is house
Aw = ok
hahaha = lough
ali shor for dali = come
balai = house
ok hahaha come to my house
