Here is a fun fact about learning the Bisaya-Cebuano language.

1. Bisaya-Cebuano has a phonetic writing system that uses the Latin alphabet. This means that the spelling of words is mostly consistent with their pronunciation.

2. Bisaya-Cebuano has a complex verb system that expresses various aspects, moods, and voices. For example, there are three leading verb voices: actor focus, object focus, and location focus. For example:
• Actor focus: kaon (eat), nikaon (ate), nakaon (eating), mokaon (will eat)
• Object focus: kaonon (be eaten), gikaon (was eaten), gikaon (being eaten), kaonon (will be eaten)
• Location focus: ikaon (eat at), nikaon (ate at), nakaon (eating at), mokaon (will eat at).

3. Bisaya-Cebuano has a relatively simple noun system that does not have grammatical gender or number. This means that nouns do not change their form depending on whether they are masculine or feminine, singular or plural. For example:

• Ang bata nagdula. (The child is playing.)
• Mga bata nagdula. (The children are playing.)
• Usa ka bata nagdula. (A child is playing.)
