Accessibility

1. Kining lugar ba angay alang sa mga naggamit ug silya-ruweda?

   Ki-ning lu-gar ba a-ngay a-lang sa mga nag-ga-mit ug sil-ya-ru-we-da?

   Is this place wheelchair accessible?

   Usage

   Use when checking if a venue or attraction is accessible for wheelchair users.

   Grammar Note

   Cebuano yes/no questions are usually made by inserting "ba". "Wheelchair user" is "naggamit ug silya-ruweda" (someone using a wheelchair). The earlier "tiglabay" is "labay" (to pass by / to throw) with the agent prefix "tig-", so it could only mean a passer-by — or a thrower — never a user. It now matches acc-009 in this same file, "Naggamit ko ug hearing aid".

2. Aduna ba moy elevator / lift?

   A-du-na ba moy elevator / lift?

   Do you have an elevator / lift?

   "Aduna ba moy" means "do you have" — a standard existential question in Cebuano.
