'basa kita'

(Title means Bahasa kitani;Our language) BAHASA TUTONG is one of many languages we 'bruneians' use at home. It is one interesting language I should say; has been used for centuries by folks in the Tutong district (country Brunei). Oh yes, Welcome!!! This site is very new, so I need some support and feedbacks. Besides that, I do hope you gain something from this site. DO learn few Tutong lines other than 'abut jiyu raya', a line I heard becoming popular among students in the UK right now. huhu..

lundung. kepasak.

lundung (loon-dong) - malas. lazy.

i would say this word is rarely used. even among the tutong people. it is a very 'strong' word, usually for 'extreme' cases. huhu.. ie 'terlalu malas'. 'very very lazy'.

lundong jiyu ituh!
pemalas banar kau ani!


kepasak (ke-pu-suck) - memasak. cooking.

a noun. used 24/7 in the kitchen. okay, may be in 'my' kitchen. of 'my' house. huhu..

endo jiyu kepasak lema ituh?
inda kau memasak malam ani?


2 words for now, Salam.

Nakalai~
