What's in Inday anyway? A recent comment that I have read someone calls ate Inday! And ate reacted immediately seems she is mad why someone called her Inday. What's in “INDAY” anyway why they are overreacts when someone calls them inday? While Others, feel disgusted and dismayed? Another comment said maybe he called inday a bisayang katulong?! (Visayan housemaid) Comment 2: inday meaning babae (meaning girl) Comment 3: inday meaning bisayang babae (meaning Visayan girl) So Inday because of you- Racism exists from their ignorance. Their incapacity to understand the real meaning of you Inday. Hahaha funny to those who are ingnorants about you inday! Will you please educate your fellowmen bout your true identity Inday? CTTo: Liling Magtolis Briones Once and for all, the word Inday does not mean housemaid insofar as Visayans are concerned. It has several gradations of meaning. First, it is an endearment for a Visayan girl, whether from Cebu, ******, Iloilo or Mindanao. In Visayan families, girls are always called Inday. Oftentimes they are called Inday all their lives. Inday is a tender word which means, precious, dear, loved one. Parents call their girl children Inday because they are loved, whether they live in a hovel or mansion. When it is expressed with the proper intonation and inflection, Inday is the loveliest sound any girl can possibly listen to. This explains why Visayan girls who work as maids automatically answer "Inday" when they are asked about their names. They are only saying that in their homes, they are tenderly loved. Because many poor Visayan girls work as maids, the term Inday is often understood as referring to maids. Second, it is a term to describe friendship and affection. Thus, Visayan girls who are close friends tend to call each other "Day" in the same manner that Visayan boys call their close friends "Bay" or friend. Third, Inday is a term used to indicate respect. When a Visayan addresses a woman he does not know, he calls her Inday. Its like saying Miss or Madam. When a man wants to introduce himself to a girl, he prefaces his spiel with " Inday…." Finally, the word Inday implies veneration or honor. A woman of high standing in a Visayan community is addressed as Inday. Thus Mayors, hacienderas, barangay captains and heads of religious organizations are called Inday. The wife of the late Pres. Carlos P. Garcia was called Inday Garcia. Yes, there are Indays who are maids. But there are also Indays who are leaders in their professions as academics, politicians, businesswomen, artists and theologians. Now INDAY there you go... Tell ignorant people to Stop RACISM to Visayan people and housemaids. Share and respect INDAY. #RespectInday #Respecthousemaid
