'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..

sigot. diek.

sorry for the '1-day off'.internet has been suck-ky this week.*ampas2 modem.staring at it,hoping the ASDL light would be on*.

sigot (see-gott) - rajin. hardworking.

since i've posted lundung, i guess it wouldn't be complete without its opposite. like lundung, this word is a rare in our home. aku pun baru tau afew minutes ago, courtesy of Haji Ishak. mr-daddy-ku.huhu..

sigot od jiyu ituh kepasak
rajin jua kau ani memasak


diek (dee-ache) - damit. kecil. small. tiny.

common word. we use this for someone younger in the family. like anak damit, adik kecil. it is also suitable for describing things like a house, or a car. boleh jua untuk badan, but alus is more appropriate to describe someone being skinny.

diek od lamin ina...
damit jua rumah atu...
