Hi! Welcome to a short Cebuano lesson.
Today we’ll learn a very common greeting: Kumusta ka?
Kumusta ka? means “How are you?” You use it when you talk to one person in a friendly, casual way.
Now listen and repeat: Kumusta ka?
Again: Kumusta ka?
Kumusta is used to ask about someone’s condition, feeling, or situation.
Ka means you, when speaking to one person in a casual or friendly way.
Here are two simple answers you can use:
Maayo ko. That means “I’m good.”
Ok ra ko. That means “I’m fine.”
Let’s quickly understand them:
Maayo means “good.”
Ko means “I.”
Ra is a small filler word that softens the sentence. In this context, “Ok ra ko” feels like “I’m just fine.”
Now let’s practice a short mini conversation:
Kumusta ka?
Maayo ko.
Say it again with me:
Kumusta ka?
Ok ra ko.
Practice it out loud, and try it in real life.
That’s today’s Cebuano lesson. More coming soon. Kita ta!
