Translations 10

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!

Hello Kylie :-)

I just finished my last exam, and was happy to receive more emails about Tausug101.

Here are the translations:

How much.                 = Pila siyn
How much is this?       = Pila siyn ini?
Time.                          = Waktu
What time is it?           = Lisag pila na?
Small.                         = Asibi' (Pls see "Lesson 10: Adjectives")
This is too small.         = Asibi' tuud sa ini.
Big.                            = Malaggu'
That is bag is big.        = In bag yan malaggu'. 
House.                        = Bay 
Our house is very huge.= In bay namu' malaggu' tuud.
Little.                           = Asibi' or Manahut (synonyms with small)
Ten little indian.            = Hangpu' asibi' Indiyan (There's no translation for "Indians")
Eat.                             = Kaun
Have you eaten?          = Nakakaun na kaw?
Monday.                      = Isnin (See Lesson on "The days of the week")
Tuesday.                      = Salasa
Wednesday.                 = Albaa
Thursday.                    = Hammis
Friday.                        = Jumaat
The 12 months.           = Same with Arabic/Islamic Calendars but not equivalent with Gregorian calendar. Pls google the "12 Hijrah Months" for more info.

I hope this helped :-)

    1. Hello Mayflor :)

      These are ARABIC terms and nt Bahasa Sug. But Muslims use them every now and then, so it wont hurt if I try. But I highly suggest you also look for the actual meaning and usage in some authentic Arabic Language sites. ANyway...

      Astaghfirullah : "I seek forgiveness from Allah"
      Alhamdulillah: "All praise is due to God alone"
      In sha Allah: "If Allah wills"
