'basa kita'

(Title means Our Language / 'Bahasa kitani') 'Bahasa Tutong' is the language for the Tutong community in Brunei. My parents were born in Tutong, but I am not as fluent as one should be. So Ive decided that whenever i get back home for summer, I have to start collecting bits and pieces from the dad, grandma, and old folks at local kopitiam; and share them here. This is dedicated for my family back home, I miss you all

peep~ lakau dai jiyu kulu!!!

i smiled when a friend of mine told me he knew one famous line. in tutong ofcourse. 'abut jiyu raya' nya. ceh, siapa lagi mengajar anak atu that line. i wont tell you what they stand for, find out from someone else. haha..

yes, we do have lines of our own. top of my evergreen list...

'lakau dai jiyu kulu!!!' (la-cow dye jew koo-loh) - 'jalan tah kau dulu!!!'

use it to reply after someone car-horns you. i like to utter it whenever where i hear a car-horn. oh yes, you YELL, baru umph! huhuhu..


a line for now, Salam.

Nakalai~
