  29. 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..

    ‘Boleh bah kalau kau!’ or ‘Kalau enkau boleh je’

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

    selamat belajar!
