Answer 1

The verb is usually said first. "Adto ko sa tindahan" translates to Go (ko - I/me) to the store. Grammatically, if you want future tense, use mu-adto "will go" instead of just adto.

BTW, you might want to brush up on your own English grammar. Your sentence should have been: How is a sentence in Cebuano written?...is it written...

Answer 2

I thought I was the only Cebuano here. Anyway, to answer your question:
1. I am going to the store now. = Adto ko sa tindahan karon.
2. To the store now I am going. = Sa tindahan ko moadto karon.

The Cebuano translations are correct but your second sentence seemed wrong.

Answer 3

i am going to a store now.
i (ako) am going (mu-adto) to a (sa) store (tindahan) now (karon).
so if you translate the sentence it goes like this:
"Ako muadto sa tindahan karon." but its gramatically wrong.. the sentence should have been: "Muadto ko sa tindahan karun." So it means in English it is: "Going me to a store now."
to the store now i am going... is difinitely wrong grammar....
translated literally it means: "Sa tindahan karun ko muadto." Which sounds awkward even to a non native speaker of Cebuano. Hope i have helped you with this.

Answer 4

Man....how many sons and daughters of Lapu-lapu here.
I almost lost my Cebuano/Bisayan language due to lack of use.
No friends and relatives here speak Bisayan, all speaks American English, so in a way, it took me awhile to think of the right Bisayan/Cebuano words.

Answer 5

the same as you write sentence in other language but the different is we're using cebuano words..

Answer 6

i - ako, nako
going - muadto, adto
to - sa
store - sa tindahan
now - karon

ako muadto sa tindahan karon.
you can disarrange it to sound nice. there are no rules in cebuano language.
so say it like. Muadto nako sa tindahan karon.
