Today, I’m teaching ya’ll a few lingo from Sabah…
Limpas: lalu, pass by
“Bas pigi bandar sudah limpas kah?”
*However, you cannot use ‘limpas’ in ‘tumpang lalu’. There’s no such thing as ‘tumpang limpas’
Ambuk: Monyet, monkey
“Duduklah diam-diam. Jangan lompat-lompat macam ambuk!”
*I think this word is taken from Brunei-lingo
Bisai: cantik, kacak, good looking
“Bisai juga Si Jensen Ackles tu…”
*Same like ambuk, taken from Brunei-lingo
Sumandak: gadis, girl
“Sumandak di sini putih-putih semuanya.”
* Kadazan-lingo
Palui: bodoh, stupid
Belingau: same as palui
“Eeeh! Palui nya! Itu pun ndak tahu buat kah?!”
“Belingau betul si anu tu. Suruh bikin kopi pun ndak tahu.”
* Not sure where these came from…
That’s all for today. I shall try to fork out more lingos for us to learn…
