"Uysit" is a word in HILIGAYNON
úysit - Fortunate, lucky, happy. See uísit.
(cf. buísit—unlucky).
úy-uy – walâ
úy-uy, A hearty laugh, loud laughter,
guffaw; to laugh heartily, to guffaw; to
enjoy, delight in. (cf. talángkaw, arík-ik,
óy-oy).
v, This letter does not belong to the
Visayan Alphabet. Wherever it occurs in
terms taken from other languages "b” is
generally substituted, e.g. vino—bíno;
vigilia—bihílya; evangelio—ebanhélyo.
w, As this letter does not belong to the
Spanish Alphabet it does not occur in
Visayan literature previous to the American
Occupation; "o” and "u” were generally
used in its place. At the beginning of a
syllable its correct pronunciation is almost
identical with (or just a shade softer than)
the "w” in English words as "wag, well, will,
woe, would, etc.”. At the end of a syllable
after "a” it forms the diphtong "aw” (e.g.
daw, táwtaw, sáwsaw, línaw) that is
nearly equivalent to the English "ou” in
"out, about, loud, etc.”. At the end of a
syllable after "e” or "i” its correct
pronunciation is quite peculiar and can be
learned only by hearing, e.g. bagéw,
baréw, siríw, téwbew, etc. It is to be
remarked that many Visayan words ending
in "o” or "u” lose these vowels in some
verbal forms and in terms derived from
them and take the letter "w” instead, e.g.
báywon, saláywan, gámwan, sápwan,
kaburúywan, etc. (from bayó, salayó,
gamó, sapó, buyó, etc.).
Akin to the idea that time is money is the concept, less spoken but as commonly assumed, that we may be adequately represented by money. The giving of money has thus become our characteristic virtue. But to give is not to do. The money is given in lieu of action, thought, care, time.
