Giunsa/pila - how
"Unsa imong pangalan?"
- what is your name?
"Kanus-a ka moabot?"

We use asa to ask the location and comparison between nouns.
"Asa ka moadto?"
- where will you go?
"Asa ani imong paborito?"

There are two ways to use how in Bisaya.
How much is this?
- "Tag pila ni?"
How did you that?
- "Giunsa tu nimo?"
Like in English, how is also use to greet someone.
Hello! How are you?
- "Hello! Kamusta ka?"
Some of our words and vocabulary are still same with Filipino and English. Like "hello" or "kamusta". People in Davao mostly use Filipino and English words especially in teaching and in business. Nowadays its often to see young generations use the deep vocabulary and idioms of Bisaya.
