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.
