Al P.: 

Assalamu Alaykum Taymanghud.

I hope you can help me find the meaning of this word in tausug: "CONGRATULATIONS'

Please help me utoh.. I need this word, post ku kasi ha fb kasi my wife just got pregnant... greet aku kanya in tausug..u know what mean.. hope you could help

Anakiluh:

Good day Taymanghud and Assalamu Alaykum.

Do you happen to understand Bahasa Sug? or are you a Tausug yourself, too? Sorry I just need to know po.

As far as my little knowledge on bahasa Sug, there is NO TRANSLATION for the word CONGRATULATIONS... (or maybe there is, but its already used long time ago, and I am not aware of it, magmaaf tuud :( Anyways, The locals would usually use the original english term in congratulating other pipol as "congrats!" and the like. But if youwan to be more "different" you can use the Arabic term instead. you can say "Mabrook!" to mean congratulations, or better yet "Alhamdulillah!" (praise be to Allah!" for indeed that is the best way to congratulate someone.

I hope I was able to help somehow taymanghud.

Even then, let me say "MABROOK! to you and your wife! ALHAMDULILLAH, Allah had bestowed a very wonderful Blessing to both of you :-D MashaAllah, May Allah keep your family happy and healthy. Ameen.

Salam Kasilasa!

Gel D.: what is the meaning of "Inda"

Anakiluh: 

Good day :)

Inda' has a lot of usage in Bahasa Sug. For one, it is a form of calling for females by locals, especially to younger generations. It can betranslated to "sister" or "Little girl" or even "young lady" but it has no single translations in English. Here's an example.

Miyanaw hi inda' ku. (My sister went for a walk)

Hain na hi inda' yadtu? (Where is that little girl?) 

Malingkat hi inda' yaun. (That young lady is beautiful)

It can also be used as a pronoun too.

For example: instead of saying Naglutu' hi Nurmina piritu ista' (Nurmina cooked fried fish), one can say "Naglutu' hi inda' piritu ista'." (She cooked fried fish.) Assuming Nurmina was already introduced earlier in the conversation.

It is also used to identify familial closeness to the female person being identified.

For example we have the sentence: 

Kiyta' ku hi Fatima. (I saw Fatima). We can add inda' before Fatima to transform it into: "Kiyta' ku hi inda' Fatima." (same translation). The second example using inda' before Fatima gives emphasis on the closeness of the speaker to Fatima (perhaps they are friends or sisters, etc.)

There are only the generla usage of the word Inda' in Bahasa Sug which is exclusively used for females only. The masculine equivalent ofInda' is Utu' with the same way of usage and importance.

Hope this helped. Salam Kasilasa!

Gel D.: Magsukul! :)

Princess V.: 

I need your help po to translate some words.. i hope you can reply to my email as soon as possible.. i need it badly. thanks po ..

ano po ba ang I LIKE YOU, I HATE YOU, I LIKE YOU sa tausug?

at ano dn po ang ANIMALS, DOG, CAT, FISH, BIRD, SNAKE, MONKEY sa tausug?

Anakiluh:

Hello, sorry sa medyo late na reply, nabusy lang sa classes namin.

Anyways,

I like you = Mabaya' aku kaymu.

I don't like you = Malisu' aku kaymu.

I hate you = Marugal aku kaymu.

I love you = Malasa aku laymu. or Kalasahan ta kaw

Animal = Binatang

Dog = Iru'

Cat = Kuting

Fish = Ista' 

Bird = Manuk-manuk

Snake = Hās

Monkey = Amu'

Manonotice mo dito na marami sa mga words na ito ang may apostrophe sa dulo ('). Ang ibig sabihin niyan ay dapat lagyan mo ng "glottal stop" ang dulo ng vowel. parang sa salitang "bangka" ng tagalog. kung gagawin kong tausug eh magiging bangka' at hindi bangka (na walang apostrophe).

Sana nakatulong to sa kung anuman. Salamat sa pagtangkilik ng Bahasa Sug! :D

Salamkasilasa!

M.A.C: 

Good day! What was the meaning of AMUNA & KAYAN in tausug? Tnkyouu

Anakiluh:

Good day!

Both of them can be translated in different ways depending on how they are used.

"Amuna" is used to determine the subject, it can be translated as "That's it" as in "Amuna sa ini in liyawag ko." to mean "THIS IS what I am looking for". or it can be used as "Amuna in iyan ku", to mean "I told you so".


"Kayan" on the other is not a aTausug term. or maybe a different term, say of two words: "ka" and "yan". "Ka" is the equivalent of the article "ba" in tagalog as in "Nakita mo ba?" (in Tausug: "Kiyta' mu ka?") "Yan" can be used as "That or This", as in "Yan in kitab ku". "That/This is my book".

If we will combine the three terms ( I presumed they were used in one sentence "Amuna ka yan" can be translated as "IS THAT IT?"

its kinda weird how they turned out to mean that way :)

Sorry cant check my references, been busy. Just message me up if you still need more translations

Thanks!

JP: Hi. Please translate these two tagalog words. Tanhks very very much. You are a very big help to my report in Fil40. :)

* patay

* Kapatid

Anakiluh:

Patay is also Patay in Bahasa Sug. But to give you more examples on how they differ in Filipino:

When using Patay in past tense, you can use 2 words: Piyatay (killed, with emphasis on actor as in "Piyatay sin kuting in ambaw": The cat killed the mouse) or Miyatay ("was killed/died", with emphasis on subject of verb, as in "Miyatay in kuting"; The cat died)

Kapatid is Taymanghud.

LE: 

Hi I'm back hehe^^... Again I need your help about tausug words hehe, what does "amunasa" and "hundung" mean?

Also what is "hijab" and "tirung"? 

Thanks a lot^^

-==============

Anak iluh: 

Hello again :)

Have you checked my posts on www.tausug101.blogspot.com? I have been updating the blog by posting new words every fridays, hope you have checked them :)

Anyway, "amuna sa" is a common term that may roughly mean "yeah, that's it!", it is used to express affirmation or confirmation or agreement with the speaker.

Example Rashid said: "Mapasu' isab in bilik ini!" (This room seem hot!)

And you can reply: "Amuna sa" (yeah, you are right/that's it)

"Hundung" means "stop". Itbcan both be used as verb or a command, as in "hundung kaw!" (You stop!)

"Hijab" is an Arabic term (you already know that Arabic sometimes get mixed with our langguage), it means "a covering". Basically it's the VEIL that you see Muslim women wear in accordance to the command of God in the Quran to cover their parts, except the face and hands. Try searching in google.image and type in HIJAB.

"Tirung" or "Turung" is the Tausug word for Hijab.
