Meaning and context

This is an everyday question used to ask how another person experienced the day. Because the Spanish phrase omits the subject, the Cebuano version includes imong adlaw, meaning your day, to make the intended meaning clear. It can be asked late in the afternoon or at night; if the day is still in progress, it may also mean How is your day going today? One possible answer is Maayo ra akong adlaw, meaning My day was fine.
