'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..

bukuton ku jiyu duoh. mium tepap jiyu?.

im feeling abit naughty tonight..hehe

bukuton-ku jiyu duoh (boo-koo-tone-ku jee-you du-owh) = ku-tumbuk kau karang.

'bukuton ku jiyu duoh' is one of many phrases we have here in tutong. altho its a bad one, suprisingly the phrase is quite common among the tutong-ians. however most of us like to just utter those words; we dont have the intention to actually 'do' it. tutong-ians are not that mean..huhu (=


mium tepap jiyu? (mee-yoom te-pub jee-you) = minta tampar kau? do you want me to 'slap' you?

'tutong' mentioned in the tagboard that tampar is tepapon. we can use tepap or tepapon for tampar/slap. some people prefer tepap. while on some other occasions, 'tepapon' sounds better. ;)


2 for now, Salam everyone.

Nakalai~
nb: sorry for the lack of post in the next 2or3 weeks, i'll be going back to dunedin soon..tsk tsk. i'll definitely post something up once everything's good.(=
