oh! I thought you’re Sabahan.. why don’t you introduce yourself.. from where, what tribe and so on.
btw, BULI BAH KALO KO! tu maksud dia..

‘bah’ tu selalu digunakan dlm pertuturan bahasa di Sabah. ‘bah’ jugak boleh disama ertikan ‘Ya’.

Thanks for this post. I wish there were more things like this online. I’m sure that I’m not the only foreigner here who is interested in the REAL culture of Sabah.
How do u say ‘Life’, and also the word ‘Living’ in Kadazan
Hello. I’m working with sun bears near Sandakan. What is the correct way to say sun bear
(beruang madu) in Kadazan-Dusun? BTW, the word in any other local language would also be a bonus!
thanks,
Paul
