'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..

lunsad. bibai.

beribu ampun. beribu beribu ribu ribu ribu (lol). for the lack of updates. >.<

i am having my summer holiday now, nearly a month now. Been very busy spending time with the beloveds, then family vacation (siukkk brabisss) and etc etc. Oh well, hopefully i'll have more freetime this january so i can update this place more often.huhu. (inda janji ah! =p)


right, back to the 2-words-of-the-day. I was talking to my dad few weeks ago, and he mentioned these two words. and i found them very unique. Maksudnya, aku jarang dangar these words in the house lerr.



lunsad (loon-sudd) - kumuh, kusut. messy.

selalunya dipakai untuk lapik tilam/selimut/meja yang inda tantu, inda berusai. Messy.

lunsad lapiq mija miyan ina gama idoh
kusut lapik mejaatu oleh durang




bibai (bee-bye) - patah.

i found it hard to understand the concept of this word at first. Medically, i would say the concept is similiar to twig-stick bone fracture in small children. The dad said "patah tapi inda jua patah", and i was like, wth (lol). An example he used was a car door; someone crashed it badly but its still stuck onto car's body. hmmm, you get the picture? *will edit this again until i have a better way to explain it.huhu*

(in a fight)
ado ni bibai lengon-nih ina gama jayi du-oh!
ada ya hancur tangan-nya atu oleh ku karang!




I hope I will get more strange words in this house. otherwise i wont have anything to write cos im only interested in some alien words.huhu. =P

akeh, Salam cuti-dan-balik-sekolah-lagi kamu. (hehe)

Nakalai~
