Hello first time poster!
Though I have been using this website for many years. I would say one of the reasons I am conversationally fluent in Cebuano is in large part due to this website. But one of the things I still have difficulty with is the semantic overlap of various verb-tense prefixes:
To refer to the Future-Tense I have been using the prefixes: Mu-, Ma-, Mag-, & Mang-, virtually interchangly but i dont think this is the case.
Examples sentences to this would be:
This can also be seen in Past-Tense as well with the prefixes: Ni-, Mi-, Na-, Nang.
Examples sentences for this would be:
I was wondering are there differences in usage or meaning between these various prefixes or do they all synomymously denote Future/Past-Tense respectively?
Is what prefix we use for a given verb determined by convention or are there actual rules to how one employs these various prefixes?
