The Bisaya (Cebuano) word for “older brother” is “maguwang nga lalaki”. That is very long! The word for “younger sister” is “manghud nga babae,” which is also long!<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

“nga lalaki” for male and “nga babae” for feamale, so you don’t have to try to memorize them all. See, you can also find them in Bisaya (Cebuano) words for “son”, “daughter”, “nephew” and “niece”, right?<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\"\"Takashi<\/span><\/div>

I see! I guess I should start with remembering that “maguwang” is older and “manghud” is younger?<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\"\"Steph<\/span><\/div>

Yeah. Even if you memorize it like a spell, definitely, you’ll forget it soon.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
