matter how many times I say this, none of you listen. This goes the same for buang/boang bc it doesn't simply mean baliw, it doesnt have the same meaning as crazy/baliw since it describes someone with an addiction or just a really bad insult to someone. Same with other bisaya +
words you use. I remember a lot of tagalog ppl making fun of us for our tagalog accent bc apparently our tongue sounds so stiff when we speak, and now you guys use OUR words since its 'uso/trendy'??? Akala ko sabi niyo language siya ng mga taga-bukid? bat niyo ginaamit ngayon?? +
If you don't know the true meaning of these words just PLEASE STOP. Another is when a lot of you make fun or mock how most of us speak conyo. We speak conyo bc its what we're mostly comfortable with, tagalog isn't our first language at home, not only for us but for other +
multilinguals as well. We understand tagalog, you don't have to try hard to speak like us bc tbh, it can get quite annoying. Adding to that, its not bc we're arte or bc of our social status, can't we just speak in a way thats comfortable for us? Not everyone is comfortable in +
speaking tagalog bc ya'll will make fun of our accents anyways. Personally, I'm fluent in tagalog, bisaya, and english. I grew up speaking all those at home, thats not the case for everyone tho. Again, we live in mindanao/visayas where most people speak in bisaya only, its our +
native language. Same goes for other people, not everyone's first language is tagalog, you have to understand and accept that. You have honestly no right to call us 'bobo' or 'maarte' if we want to speak this way bc if I'm being brutally honest, we're more intelligent than you. +
We just choose to speak in such way that we still understand eachother but we are also comfortable in. We understand you guys, we understand you very well when you speak to us in tagalog, most of us just don't know how to properly say it in tagalog without being made fun of. +
That's all I actually wanna say rn but again, PLS STOP SAYING BISAYA WORDS/EXPRESSIONS IF U DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY TRULY MEAN. Even if ur oomfs say it, pls just don't follow them and try to educate them on the matter. If you made it this far, tysm for reading
for ppl who speak conyo, just continue speaking on how you're comfortable speaking. Don't mind what they say. Mga nagelos ra na sila kay di sila kapilapil sa atong mga libak sa ila, ay na sila pansina kay mas brayt man ta, halata man sad kay mas hawd man ta mag english <33

hii!! pls take time to read this too, this thread is also very useful and they did make a point as well! https://twitter.com/cnlefits/status/1391321818225545222?s=19
op made a point as well, and i disnt include a lot in the thread since there is a limit but this thread was mostly directed towards that one fb post degrading conyo and bisaya speakers, calling us empty headed and saying we we're dumb bc we dont speak proper Tagalog, sorry if+
i misinterpreted it in the thread but my main point was to know the meaning of these words before you say them. tyy again
