"Buyuy" is a word in HILIGAYNON
buyúy - Ignorant, uneducated, boorish.
(cf. pákok, kagúng, waláy tinón-an, dílì
maálam, binukídnon, umánhon, etc.).
c, This letter was formerly used after the
manner of the Spanish "c”. It had a "k”
sound before a, o, u, l, r, and at the end of
syllables and words and an "s” sound
before i and e.
In conformity with modern usage "k” and
"s” are employed in this dictionary instead
of "c”, except in the spelling of some foreign
expressions. Even words of foreign origin
are now quite frequently adapted to suit the
modern Visayan orthography and terms
like consul, acacia, concejo, etc. become
kónsul, akásya, konsého, etc. Hence words
written with "c” under the old spelling will
be found in this dictionary under "k” or "s”.
All historic and sentimental reasons that
can be brought forward for the letter "c”
have apparently no weight with the present
generation, whose ideals are uniformity,
standardization and practical results in
preference to other considerations.
d, The letter D in Visayan is pronounced as
in English. D after various prefixes such as
pan-, hi-, ha-, etc. is very frequently either
elided, or changed into N, e.g. panáhon
(dáhon—leaf); panílap (dílap—to lick);
hinangát (dángat—to reach); hanúmdum
(dúmdum—to remember), etc.
D followed by a suffix is often (especially in
Hiligáynon) turned into R, e.g. tahúron,
katahurán, matinahúron (táhud—to
respect); ginsugúran (súgud—to
commence); palabuarán (búad—to breed),
etc. See also padóng—paróng;
dadâ—darâ; tádung—tárung;
tudúk—turúk, etc.
da – dagándan
da, A particle without very definite
meaning. It stands for "daw”—as, perhaps;
for "ta”—so, then, now, well; for "dan”—so
it is, indeed, really, now you have got it,
now you understand it, etc.
Did you help someone today? If you did you know how that feels to truly live and know the meaning of life.
