adto

1. togothere(to a place far from both the speaker and listener)
2. (dialectal) togo(regardless of where)

• In standard Cebuano,adto is used in contrast withanhi(“to go here, to come”) andanha(“to go to a place near the listener”). In some Cebuano-speaking areas such as in Davao City,adto is used in a general manner to mean "to go, to come" regardless of destination. In these dialects, it is necessary to use the locative adverbsdiri,dinhi,dinha, anddidto in conjunction withadto if there is a need to indicate the direction of travel. In standard Cebuano, this formation is redundant but speakers may do so at times.

  (Standard):Moanhi sila (dinhi) ―They will come here

  (Standard):Nianha siya (dinha)? ―Did he come to your place?
