Courtship Phrases 4: Be patient with me

Today's episode, We will learn how to say "be patient with me". 

In Bisaya, we say "pasensya-i lang ko". 

Pasensya - patience
lang - is sort of an additive to emphasize the phrase at the same time to make you sound a little sweet or soft. 
ko - me

We usually say "pasensya-i lang ko" when we commit an error that's no big deal or you need the persons patience or understanding. Sometimes, we use this when we just have to understand the persons attitude or behavior to a certain scenario. This word should not be confuse with "pasayloa" which means "to forgive"

These are the various ways to use the word "pasensya":
"pasensya" - patience
"pasensya jud kaayo *ha" - please be patient. 
"pasensya na lang ta" - let just be patient ("na lang" - just)
"mo-pasensya jud ta" - we have to be patient ("jud" - have to)
"pasensya-i" - be patient
"pasensya-an na lang" -  just have to be patient ("na lang" - just)


*"ha" - is added to make you sound 
  • softer/sweet 
  • trying to pacify the person you are talking to.
  • when you are asking a favor. 
Let us continue with our script:

Boy: Pwede ko manguyab nimo?
Girl: Pwede.
Boy: Naa koy chansa nimo?
Girl: "Dili pa ko katubag nimo ana sa pagkakaronManguyab pa gali ka, unya na ko pangutan-a ana"  
Boy: Pasensya jud kaayo ha. Excited lang ko.

Let's continue our script in the next episode of Courtship phrases. See you there!
