I want to meet you my friend when you when you come to Sarikei town,I like Europeian cause Sawak under the British Colony,and most of our Priest come from Holland Dutch. They Iban became peaceful people..❤
I am Iban Language teacher. All I can say that your pronounciation is on point and well done. Impressive. Matahka lengan is eating but it it not a word in iban to represent “eating”. it is just an idioms. Then “ngepan” is Iban tradition cloth. It’s supposed to be ngempat buk mean cutting hair. As a beginner. Well done! And keep learning
Ehh... Cutting in Iban is "Nguntin"... Hair is "Buk"... If u talking to someone nowadays, I recommend u to say this... "Nguntin buk" instead using Ngepat buk... Ngepat is traditional language... How do u say Scissors in iban?? It's "Guntin"... Better to use this word... Anyway, it's not to late to learn something new... 😊😊
I'm Sabahan but never been to Sarawak yet. Maybe next holiday after this pandemic, my flight from Thailand to Malaysia will go to Sarawak first before meet my family in Sabah. Inspired by Nick videos about Sarawak and I guess I'm learning "bejako Iban" now. 🙂
- It should be "manuk pansuh". "Ayam pansuh" would be the Malay equivalent. - As for "gawai"... it simply means "festival". - Among the Kalaka-Saribas Ibans (which is the basis for the official Iban dialect as in the Johor Malay as the basis for the national language (Malay)), "pinggai" means the specific larger plate which is used to serve rice. The normal eating plates would be "capak". - I would think the Iban word for "chopstick" would be "penyepit" although there are already other meanings too. - The word "sudu' " is also used but it is a borrowed word. So, "siduk" is the actual Iban word for "spoon". - "Matah ka lengan" literally means "break the arm" to mean "eating/having a meal". Kinda like the American "break a leg" to mean something "good luck" and voila! Bob's your uncle. 🤣🤣 - "Serga" is a word learned from the missionaries. Nick... good way of holding the chopstick! You like to add drama when you speak Iban. 😂😂 You must find us Kalaka-Saribas (the Saribas would be slightly more exciting than the Kalaka Ibans) Iban very boring then. 🤣🤣 Happy birthday, Nick!
It's been a long time, I have a relative ,childhood friend who is iban mixed white. They are fluent in the Iban language because their father is Iban and their mother is white. He is in 20s now.
The spelling and pronunciation, are not NGEPAN but NGEMPAT (cutting). NGEPAN is normally used to address wearing a cloth. It's an old word for the Iban language. Correct me if I'm wrong. NGEMPAT BUK - CUTTING HAIR NGEMPAT TALI - CUTTING ROPE
Hello Nick..I m proud to u how to learn speak iban..I m iban girl but I don't understand some iban words like meeting..I think meeting it ( berandau) but it wrong..now I know meeting is ( Baum)....I like that word matah ke lengan😂😂

Hallo! Ik ben Jordan uit Sydney, Australië. Plan to visit Kuching soon. Will definitely catch up with you when there😀 what food is your favorite there?
I am Kelabit from Kampung Long Napir Limbang Sarawak.We speak fluent Iban and it’s common because of the mix marriages between the Kelabit + Iban community.Greetings From KL Thanks Sharing
Good morning Nick.wow you look more greater now ha ha can speak IBAN words not bad man.😃 Well nice to hear that.God blessed you bro.I hope you will learn how to speak Bidayuh language next so that I can speak it with you.Thanks for sharing.So amazing.Dah makai pagi tok ?Wai
yea..agreed with Edward Jerah's comment but i think he is 'camera shy' person so he has to make himself busy to avoid looking at the camera. Nevertheless, we are human, so its ok. There is no wrong or right here. Great effort Nick. You will be able to speak any local dialect anytime soon. I was born here but my Iban dialect is neither here or there. haha. So I consider yours is Perfector!
Hola , que hace esa alpaca en la mesa jejeje por cierto me encanta mirar tus videos, pero este video me hizo reí mucho con sus ocurrencias ajajaaj cuídense chicos , ojala tu amigo puedan enseñarme también jajaja
Chopstick in iban is 'bili'. Pronouns as 'biliek'... at least that what iban sibu use to call chopstick. Some peoole translate it as penyepit which is in malay.
@@GlobalGibbon Sarawakian local food like d kolo noodle or its famous layered cake could be your inspiration for your future videos incl d bario rice n d bamboo chicken. 😀
Hi Nick. Good initiative to learn the local languages. It helps you to intergrate into the local society faster and better. Furthermore it will assist to increase your viewership instead of depending on English speaking viewers. Thanks.

Iban is a very close language to Malay. It’s like a “cousin” language. Both are Malayic language. In fact Iban and Malay Sarawak still retain most of Proto-Malay lexicon.

Wow. So much info! Thanks for sharing! I always love learning more about the Iban Culture!
Yes, in bidayuh Gawai or "Gawea" is means festival. It's refer to (padi) harvest festival.
It's always very good to be a multi lingual person. Thanks for this wonderful video.
Thanks for watching Yasin!

What were u guys eating while chatting, instant noodles?
It was the Sarawakian Kolo Mee!
@@GlobalGibbon Very vibrant. Got to try it one day, Sarawakian kolo noodle. 😀
@@GlobalGibbon Sarawakian local food like d kolo noodle or its famous layered cake could be your inspiration for your future videos incl d bario rice n d bamboo chicken. 😀
@@Yasin_Affandi yes you should try. It's with pork though. But there is a delicious halal version as well, Mee Kolok!
@@GlobalGibbon I'll try d Halal version, it's quite popular in KL, I think. 😀
Hi Nick. Good initiative to learn the local languages. It helps you to intergrate into the local society faster and better. Furthermore it will assist to increase your viewership instead of depending on English speaking viewers. Thanks.
Thanks for your nice comment! There are so many cultures here to learn from!
Chopstick is bilek..sometimes also sepit but I always say bilek..
Alright! Thanks for sharing. I'll use that!
Correction "Ngepan buk" is wrong spelling in iban words.. the true words is "ngempat buk" the meaning is cut hair..
Thanks for the feedback! 😉
Chicken is manuk, ayam is toy in Iban. Ayam pansuh means toys cooked in bamboo!!??
Ako kak makay yaman

Hi Wilfred
Wilfred: Hi Peter!
Ngepan means costume. Getting a haircut is ngempat buok...
Jaku dalam Iban ajar iya agai nuan
Thanks for watching! 😁
nama dek bangsa iban dek pia aku nyabut ari gawai ba sarawak
matah ke lengan is mein brockking hand....
An unusual term!
Iban Kapit..chopstick nya dsebut kami 'BILIE'.
Aku half Malay half Siam..haha.
Wow. That's quite unique!
peachy
Wilfred 👋🏼hahahaha
Yep, he's a champion!
@@GlobalGibbon Haha, haven't seen him for so long. Good to see your both doing alright. Btw congrats on your new born baby. 🍼
NGEPAN BUOK= HAIR ACCESSORIES. NGEMPAT BUOK = HAIR CUT, I CAN SAY YOU ARE LANGUISTIC.
Auk auk auk
Got me😂
Those noodles looks really SPICY. Can you eat those. It will burn 🔥 your tongue.
The more spicy, the better!
I think Ngepan Buk is incorrect. The correct word for Hair cutting is Ngempat Buk...
Interesting! I'll double check!
@@GlobalGibbon Ok bro. Have a nice day...

I'll learn more!! Maybe one day I'll be fluent!
Stidi kua.😁

Chopstick - Bilek.
That sounds very similar to Bilik, Room. 😳
Certain words sound like Malay.
Iban is a very close language to Malay. It’s like a “cousin” language. Both are Malayic language. In fact Iban and Malay Sarawak still retain most of Proto-Malay lexicon.
That's right, many words are pretty similar.
Not Ngepan Buk
truly word is NGEPAT BUK
Oh oh! Thanks for the feedback!
chopstick in Iban is B.I.L.I am i right?
Could be!? I have no idea😂😂😂
Sarawakian can speak at least 3 language/dialets.
That's right!

=D
nice try nick..!!!!!!
Haha. Thanks!
Nick you cant drink tuak
I'm pretty sure you can! You can't eat it! 😂
