ENGLISH
Wadaywaday grammar is simple and is similar to Cebuano and Tagalog vocabularies.
Let’s start with plurals.
In Wadaywaday, the plural and singular are different in certain cases. Just insert -g- into the singular (after the vowel of the stressed syllable) to transform it into a plural.
Example: bad’odid’a becomes bad’ogdid’a.
If the -g- can’t be inserted into the singular, the singular and the plural have the same form.
Example: tagwagtang (destroyer); we cannot insert -g- between a and n, so the singular and plural have the same form: tagwagtang.
