- “Maupay nga aga!” = “Good day!” Waraynons usually greet with “Maupay na adlaw” as a general acknowledgment. Time-wise, you may also use these other options
- “Ako hi .” / “It akon ngaran kay .” = “My name is .” When you try to let the person know what your name is, you can start with this phrase.
- “Ano it imo ngaran?” = “What is your name?” If you inquire about others’ names, you may conveniently use an alternative for “it imo”, which is “tim”. So, you can also ask, “Ano tim ngaran?”.
- “Kamusta ka?” = “How are you?” Every catch-up with someone must start with this phrase to ensure the conversation goes well. Plus, it’s easy since you might probably have known this phrase from the Tagalog language.

Nov 18, 2015 · What is the Waray term for "tipsy"? What is the English word for "during"? This post will answer those questions. Her's a list of Waray words from Northern Samar with their English translation/s. There may be some slight variations between the Ninorte-Samarnon Waray and the regular Waray language, but this might help you find some answers.
List of Waray Words: Tagalog to Waray. Here's a list of Tagalog words and their Waray equivalent. I compiled this with the help of my fellow Waray friends. If there are erroneous entries on this list or if you want to add some more words, please let me know so I can update this. Salamat! (ES means Eastern Samar; NS, Northern Samar.)
SEAlang Library Waray Lexicography. About the SEAlang Library Waray Resources. SEAlang's Waray dictionary is based on George Dewey Tramp's Waray-English Dictionary (Dunwoody Press, 1997). It includes just under 30,000 headwords, and has nearly ten thousand etymological and dialectal references.
The term Waray comes from the word often heard by non-speakers meaning 'none' or 'nothing' in the language; similarly, Cebuanos are known in Leyte as mga Kana and their language as Kana (after the oft-heard word kana, meaning 'that' in the Cebuano language).
