Accompany - Common Usage?
Hello. I just started studying Cebuano via memrise.com, and one of the words that I have to learn is 'accompany'. Unfortunately, there are several examples listed for this particular flashcard, so I would like to know which ones (if any) are more commonly used by native speakers, in lieu of learning them all:
Duyog(v.); Pagduyog(v.); kuyog(v.); Pagkuyog(v.); Sabay(v.); Mouban(v.); Uban(v.); Ubanan(v.)
That said, if this word is not commonly used in the first place, I would like to know that as well. For example, in English, we will not usually say 'accompany'...instead, we will say 'go/going/went with' in day-to-day converstations.
Thanks!
Accompany (in context)
Accompany can be used in different contexts. If the context used is to go with someone somewhere, then you can use kuyog(v.); Sabay(v.); Uban(v.). These words are in their rootword form.
E.g. Maria will accompany Jose to the hospital.
Translation: Kuyogan/Sabayan/Ubanan ni Maria si Jose sa hospital.
The verb kuyog/sabay/uban has the suffix "an" to indicate the verb in future tense.
However, if the context used is for example, in reference to playing music, then you can use: Duyog(v.) This is also in its rootword form.
E.g. Jose will accompany Maria's singing by playing the guitar.
Translation: Duyogan ni Jose ang pagkanta ni Maria pinaagi sa pagtukar sa gitara.
duyogan (future tense of the verb duyog): will accompany
pagkanta ni Maria: Maria's singing
pinaagi: by
playing the guitar: pagtukar sa gitara
