Au zou insan katanud sumuang pias doungosodop mokiuung hampun. I have no personal account of a nocturnal outing in a jungle for durian wake/mokiuung hampun. Nakaandad zou mah hampun id daadatad nouung. "Asapou toomod tuva hampun". I like that sound. Dadi.... I want to recapture nuances of my first language, Kadazan. Nung mokiiuung hampun ko boos Kadazan : Welcome to my blog. Enjoy!

Chicks is pizak
I saw a bit of 'HOP' the movie wherein Russell Brand is the voice-over for a rabbit. There definitely are a lot of chicks in that movie. Chicken chicks, that is. We call chick, pizak. Tanak do manuk.
A wick is tinsim, right?
What's wick in Kadazan? Anyone? I've been cracking my head. Can't remember... You know that thingy you light up. Ah... I think I just got it- tinsim. Wow! What a relief! Guess my bulb is still quite alright. I better be right. Aiso tinsim, aiso titikan, aiso sumbu om otuvong dii.
