nindot bitaw ang bacolod.
never expected it to be that way because of what i have heard before.
lately, cge ko adto bacolod coz ako gf is from that place man gud..
the language is also easy to learn but lisod pag hambal..
tig-a man gud kaayo ang bisdak pareha nako.

the city is really going the right direction..
mugbo lang gyud ila mga buildings..hehehe

maka relate jud ang ako uyab nimo, indi man budlay ihambal a
naglisod lang kay maybe more ang emphasis sa tuno, ingon ana akoang uyab nasobrahan ra gyud siya mosulti

[gossamer]

bitaw noh. ako makasabot man kog hiligaynon (ilonggo) dyutay pero pagsulti na gali, zero jud ko. dili ko kahibalo musulti and medyo dili nako makuha ang ilang accent. chada unta makabalo. i've always been interested in learning another philippine language kay murag kulang ra ang cebuano and tagalog. hehehe.

by the way, can anybody tell if there's a difference between the hiligaynon in bacolod city and iloilo city since they're the two main hiligaynon-speaking cities in the country? i'm thinking there must be at least a slight difference just like the cebuano in cebu and the cebuano in cagayan de oro.

ang dog sa hiligaynon kay "ayam", sa ilonggo kay "ido", sa bisaya kay "iro".

nganong na inana man kno beh..... mas duol pman ang bisaya ug ilonggo ( sa dog lang nga example ha!)....

^ hmmm, that's something i've never heard before. thanks for that. hehehe.
