'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

mingor. shhhhhh~

about the closing down, im not really sure yet. its still here, so thank god. huhu. but on a serious note, eventually i will have to close it down. vocabs limited wah, and i'll be busy this year. unless i manage to convince zuh to help me. ahem!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

with today's word,

(see? i could only come up with one word for you guys today. showed how lazy i am nowadays.lazybum!).

i dont know if kenangan beach had this word up on his site or not, since hes updating more often than i am. and hes got more use-them-daily words. so if you want to learn the simples, please visit his site. i appreciate the effort, keep it up man(= otherwise just look at the examples i use in each of my post. they have small words in them, and are direct translation of each word. (well ofcourse you figured that out. heh) **

anyways,



mingor (mee-ngor) = bising. noisy.

bah dong dai jiyu mingor, kenayi jiyu mangkol na.
bah jangan tah bising, adik mu tidur tu.

kudo jiyu kawin? endo da, dong dai mingor-mingor kuloh.
bila kau kawin? balum lagi, jangan tah bising-bising (or hingar-hingar) dulu.



** note:
kudo = bila
kenayi = adik
dai = tah
& so on.. (=


keep the 'r' sound right people (huhu), Salam.

Nakalai~
