an pagcáon (the meal).
The gerund is frequently used in compound sentences for past tenses, as: [[59]]
han pag-abot co (when I arrived: literally: upon my arriving).
The past participle is employed as an adjective as:
hinigugma co ng̃a iróy. (my dear mother; literally: mother loved by me).
NOTE.—There are in Bisayan forms resembling and equivalent in many instances to the Latin infinitive future ending in rus, in active, and in dus, in passive, as amaturus and amandus. Such Bisayan forms are those formed by the particle um combined with the interfix r or its substitutes (See page [20]), as:
cumaráon (one who is to eat)
caraonón (a thing to be eaten).
Indicative. Ordinary forms. The present corresponds to the same tense, in English, and also to the Spanish and Latin imperfect past. As:
nácaon acó (I eat)
