Let's look at some simple Bagobo conversation.
Agawe and Ayong talking as they walk home together.
Agawe: Inná mudan ngan-ni. [It looks like it will rain today.]
Ayong: Diri pa mudan ni... ago kani dukilim pò. [It will not rain yet... maybe tonight.]
Agawe: Madiggir gó ka mudan kani dukilim… anda din wayig to tangke ko. [It’s good if it rains tonight. There is no water in my tank anymore.]
Ayong: Sunnod manggo masirap ka anda udan. Agad to dram ko anda din wayig. [It’s very hard when there’s no rain. Even my drum does not have water.]
Agawe (reaches home): Nah, ad-ding ka pa. (It’s an invitation to come into his house which is usually just a formality.)
Ayong: Be-e din. Muli a din pagsik. [Don’t bother. I am also going home.]
