Its for a storyline involving tinikling and pandanggo sa ilaw, so the appropriate dialect is essential.
”hinahamon kita!”
”anytime, anyplace.”
”hindi pa tayo tapos.”
”sa plaza. In 3 days.”
”PULIS!”
”good evening.”
”nice to meet you.”
please post the translations as comments.
thanks!
this is in aklanon. a type of bisaya
hinahamon kita = gina ayat
anytime, anyplace = maskin hin ono/maskin siin,
hindi pa tayo tapos.= wa pa kita natapos
’sa plaza. In 3 days = sa plaza, ig tatlong adlaw
nice to meet you.= to follow. =)
good evening= maayong gabi-i
PULIS= as is
take not that these has “hard accents” on em
like wa-pa-kita-NAT-ap-os
L: my bisaya is not quite as good as my tagalog (I grew up partly in manila), so I’m only gonna translate the ones I’m sure of.
”hinahamon kita!”
”anytime, anyplace.” – maski kanus-a, maskin’ asa.
”hindi pa tayo tapos.” – wa pa ta mahuman.
‘’sa plaza. In 3 days.”
”PULIS!” – pulis!
”good evening.” – maayong gabi-i
”nice to meet you.”
thanks, guys.
what’s “PULIS! TAKBO!”
Na-ay Pulis! Dagan!
L: How bout
HALAKA! PULIS! AGPAS, DAGAN! Pheobe’s was okay but I added ‘agpas’ for ‘hurry’
As for the first post: (cebuano/ bisaya rough translation)
hinahamon kita- “Gihagit ko ikaw!”
or I could suggest “gusto ka magsinumbagay ta? Hala sige!’ which means “you wanna start a fight? Alright bring it on!” though ‘sinumbagay’ entails punching but it means a fight either way.
“anytime, anyplace” – “bisang-kinus-a, bisan-asa”
“hindi pa tayo tapos”- “Wala pa ta nahuman!”
“sa plaza, In 3 days” – “Sa plaza, sulod sa tulo ka adlaw”
“PULIS”- as is
“good evening”- mayung gabi-i (more vernacular version of pheobe’s)
“nice to meet you” – :nalipay kaayo ko karun na nagka-ila ‘ta” (roughly: i’m very happy that I’m meeting you now)
That’s the best i can translate your words. And my super bisaya dad from the misamis oriental province helped. Hope it helps. 🙂
Pheobe you’re from cebu right? could you please verify my rough translations?
Mary: yup, your translations are pretty close. ‘Agpas’ means to follow in cebuano, though.
L: Mary’s translation of anytime anyplace is a more widely used translation than mine. Both versions are valid though. I’ve never met anyone who says the words ‘nice to meet you’ in bisaya. People around here usually just nod their heads and smile when they are introduced.
”hinahamon kita!” ….guinahagit tikaw
mary, the simplest hamon in cebuano/bisaya is sumbagay ta, or buno ta. Your’s is way too progressive..
”anytime, anyplace.”… sag kanus-a, sag asa
”hindi pa tayo tapos.” wa pa ta na-human, wa pa ta natiwas
‘’sa plaza. In 3 days.” sa plasa, sa nakatulo ka adlaw
”PULIS!” KAWATAN!!!
”good evening.” maayong gabi-e
”nice to meet you.” guikalipay ko na nagkita kita.
please post the translations as comments…. palihug i suwat ang mga transleysiyun sa atong tukayan.
thanks! daghang salamat…
hey L, I’m not a linguist, and my lingua franca is a patois of bisaya, tagalog and english, but I hope you could cross reference my translation.
*LOL* your bisaya translation of ‘pulis’ is very interesting Ken.
kai mura man sag tulisan ning mga pulis sa manila phoebs. ups five hundred naman dyan.
it’s the same everyewhere, Ken. the term ‘honest law-enforcer’ is an oxymoron. Just as ‘honest government official’ is a figment of one’s imagination. 😀
sorry L, but waray’s doesn’t consider themselves Bisaya, so the best I could give is cebuano translation, again a misnomer, because i ain’t from cebu.
”hinahamon kita!” Guinahagit tikaw
“patayin na kita” Luba-on tikaw run.
”anytime, anyplace.” sag-asa, sag-kanus-a
”hindi pa tayo tapos.” wa pa ta nahuman, wa pa ta natiwas
‘’sa plaza. In 3 days.” sa plaza sa nakatulo ka adlaw
”PULIS!” Manga Bantay sa Kalinaw!!! or Manga Hingtungdan
”good evening.” Maayng Gabi-e
”nice to meet you.” nalipay kong nagkita ‘ta.
please post the translations as comments. Palihog ipadayag ang inyung pinagbadbad dinhi sa atong tukayan.
