Save me... save the "kio"

It's Manday! as how we pronounce it..or "hari satu" to most Sabahan...am I being infected hun laling?wahaha....I could barely remember that I rarely use the numbering method...upon listening to people saying "hari satu/dua/tiga/ampat/lima/anam/tujuh"..really amuse me yet interesting enough that Kadus hasn't got anywhere far..save the numbering method..save the kadus ka tu slogan dia....ha.ha..too much heroes suda ni....but really, I'm not writing this to make fun of them..it just so interesting, don't you agree? and I'm actually lost in between..pity ah..there's only one way to solve this..perhaps by marrying a fluent dusun woman....haha....the same thing happened when I moved back to Ranau years ago from Sandakan...I rarely heard people saying "kio" or even "kama"....they're mostly used at the end of bahasa-malaysia-kadus sentences....after a while in Ranau, I then gotten used to the "kio" and "kama" slang...well, in Sandakan..you could probably able to count how many times you would hear people saying these words kan.....even the use of "sia" or "sya" is not entirely supported.."aku" is more appropriate and I even sometimes I'd use "kita" or "kamu" referring to 2nd or 3rd individual...i.e.."kita mahu pigi mana..?"..another interesting/fun word is "pawaroot" as in power-root..thanks laling!

To be honest..my first encounter of real bahasa-malaysia-kadus was back in Matriculation...and I dont really have kadus friends back in Sandakan (i have one, a sino..his name was Harry..he has a chinese name which have a very tasty sound of "cha sia pau"..) well, you may have heard a lot about Sandakan and its community kan..so back in those days, the kadus community was seen and populated in certain area/spots only....

Thus, sometimes I may feel ashame of myself...well, I'm a pure dusun but I can't actualy speak my own language..pandai juga bah but not good enough for a conversation..I could possibly understand most of the words or even what people were saying to me...it just that I have to reply in bahasa-malaysia-dusun....kesian kan..at home we speak bahasa-malaysia-dusun...(my parents cakap dusun bila mau mengamuk sama kejajalan kami budak ada lah..haha..i.e..Adede tanak diti ka tu...haha..) I got used to dusun language in Tambunan..where my late grandmother wasn't able to speak in bahasa-malaysia-dusun..she could only speak dusun..sometimes french and spanish..ahaha..joking saja ba..sorry ah nek..LoL..she was a very strick person...kalau makan tidak kasi habis nasi or kasi sayang nasi (even padi bila masa mengatam jatuh beberapa biji saja..habis la kana ceramah starring...haha.) she will surely scold you! funny huh but years after, I then understood when seeing others..her presence was very influential in my life....well, my mum's relatives (mum is from tambunan) are mostly all fluent dusun speaker..they speak dusun as their main and daily language..macam sakap bahasa-malaysia-dusun la ba...

If only I could speak dusun....well I don't know actually if that would make a different but thinking about the future of Kadus..made me thinking of the Kadus language's fate...what would happen in 20 years time?...would we be able to hear people saying "kio" and etc? we could be the aboriginal in Sabah (North Borneo) but there could be a possibility of..the extinct of Kadus language...as far as I'm aware, we have a SR(J) Dusun somewhere along the Ranau-KK road...so,this could be a saviour for this unique and beloved language of Kadus...perhaps we should get marry to Kadus only...jadi yang ada hati mau cari lain tu..kasi cancel ah...especially yang betul-betul tidak tahu cakap kadus..wahahaha..

*cakap dusun masa minum tidak masuk record..sebab kebarangkalian untuk ajaran inda masuk sangat tinggi..wahaha...
