My take on snowflakes
Pardon. I just have to share. A little late. It's about four weeks to spring. It just came around. Brain freeze. Here goes...a snowflake is 'i tasabi' (soft 'b'). Let me break it down further.
asabi/obingiad = overly sensitive/cry easily
tasabi/bogiad = snowflake/crybaby
I had never really given it a thought before. Tasabi (a snowflake) is a noun, asabi is an adjective (a describing word). So, in a sentence : 1 ) Asabi i tasabi. An overly sensitive snowflake.
2) Bogiad zou haid. Kababasai zou. Got tired of being a crybaby.
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!
