Let's Learn Maranao Language (Translate to Bisaya, Tagalog and English)

Blog #339

August 25, 2022

My day today was an exhausting one because of the chores need to be done and at the same time, I also had to monitor my youngest son "Adam" because he had a fever. But despite the exhaustion that I felt today, I'm glad that Adam's fever subsided this evening.

Here's our little man this afternoon. He was still very weak during that time and he only wanted to be cuddled or carried by me.

And here's our photo this evening. He's back being clingy again and he's a little active this time. He also ate a lot during dinner and that made me happy unlike this morning and afternoon that he only eats a little amount of food. Hoping that tomorrow his fever will be totally gone and he will be active.

So for today's blog, let's learn some few Maranao phrases then I will translate it to Bisaya, Tagalog and English.
