Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Orang Putih Cakap Bahasa Iban, Orang Putih Bejako Iban! I spent the morning with my good Iban friend Wilfred as he tried to teach me the Iban Language.
Sarawak is home to numerous ethnicities and many different languages. I am always interested to learn a new Borneo language. After living in Malaysia for 10 years I have learned some of the many different languages in the country.

#Sarawak #Iban #Bahasa
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... 😊😊
Good ,nemu meh NN Jaku iban mimit..stay with iban.baka Bala Paderi.
Bruh..every Iban can speak in English after their drink langkau..
Tuh🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep up the good work bro. The last time I saw you was on my wedding reception. Btw, congratulations to proud new parents!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it! We'll be parents in about a week! Exciting!
Wow Nick very impress with your Iban language competency. kudos!!
Nyamai😂
Nice to have you here at Sarawak. Lalu gai langkau aku au. Trima kasih kaban 👍.
Happy to be in Sarawak!
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.
Ehemmm...love this Chanel.
I love this comment!
Yes meeting is baum but normally we simply use word meeting also. Especially the new generation. 'Baum' word kind of classic.
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😂😂
Thanks for watching the video! I'm happy you learned a new word too! 😲😁😁
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
Awesome! Thanks for your comment. I will visit Long Napir Some Day!
Nice spoken, not bad... 👌👌👌
Thanks! 😁😁
Good job Nick 👍Hehe
Thanks! I had fun learning!
looks like he enjoyed that noodle so much🤣
He was hungry! 😂
@@GlobalGibbon Stop asking me a question lah.. i want to enjoy my food.
(Malaysian culture) 😂
@@fazleemarantika5125 😂😂😂
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!
I felt the same things too 😂🤣
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..❤
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. 😀
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. 🙂
Yes! You should come visit Sarawak, you'll love it!
Thank you. I'll take note for any recommendation visit to Sarawak.
Advance welcome to Sarawak 🙌
- 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!
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!
@@GlobalGibbon Thank u too. 😀
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.
Done clicked LIKE.
never skip advertisement.
👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
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
Iban Kapit..chopstick nya dsebut kami 'BILIE'.
Ngepan means costume. Getting a haircut is ngempat buok...
Jaku Iban
Hi Nick, you can learn Bidayuh too☺️
Miss my hometown kuching and kolo mee very much. 😭
Kuching misses you too!

Could be!? I have no idea😂😂😂
Nuan urang new zealand 5:26
First Again 👋💪🤜🤛
Super champion!
well done bro,manah
Hahaha berandauing.. u nailed it bro
😂😂😂
Correction "Ngepan buk" is wrong spelling in iban words.. the true words is "ngempat buk" the meaning is cut hair..
Thanks for the feedback! 😉
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.

Hello Nick! Watching your videos can be hilarious! You got that sense of humour and those knowledge and information are all beneficial. Would love to have you to do one on one interview with Keemo Rahman, our own digital musical artist from Kuching. Would you provide us your email so we could arrange if you are keen to the idea. Thank you Nick!

Hey there. My most favourite food here is Laksa, Kolo Mee and Kong Pia! You have to try it all!
Good job Nick 👍
Wilfred is a good teacher.
He is indeed!

That's awesome! 😁
Hi, Nick! So, your friend from Nanga Geraji, Betong eh? Well, I'm from Betong too. Rumah panjai Entanak to be precise 😁
Hey Augustine! Thanks for watching the video! I'd love to travel around Betong. Hopefully next year!
@@GlobalGibbon Yeah, sure why not 😁 See you in Betong. Take care bro
"Thank you so much" which i can translate in iban will be, "Ku meri besai trima kasih"😁
Thanks for the translation!
@@GlobalGibbon with pleasure bud😁
Nick... After another 5 years you will talk Iban fluently for your youtube.
I'll try!
Those noodles looks really SPICY. Can you eat those. It will burn 🔥 your tongue.
The more spicy, the better!

Oohaa! Thanks for watching! 😁😁😁
Have a good day Anna 🙌 oohhaa!
Your slang is pretty good Nick.
Thanks Marcus!
Chopstick is bilek..sometimes also sepit but I always say bilek..
Alright! Thanks for sharing. I'll use that!
in the Bidayuh Serian language aku,k nyihep kupi 😂🤣
Sounds difficult!😂
Matah ke lengan = to break an arm. It's just a phrase to invite someone to have a meal.
Interesting phrase!
Nick have you ever been to Mendung Escape
I have not been there yet, but it is on my bucket list! I would love to do a video about a stay there!
matah ke lengan is mein brockking hand....
An unusual term!
Nick I want you to this video with every Iban you can find🤭
I will do more!!
Broke your hands = eating
Haha, an interesting way to ask someone for a meal!
Chicken is manuk, ayam is toy in Iban. Ayam pansuh means toys cooked in bamboo!!??
Haha your friend didn't give you a break.. I'm Iban and even I don't know some of these words! Parai kitai wai.. 😂
NGEPAN BUOK= HAIR ACCESSORIES. NGEMPAT BUOK = HAIR CUT, I CAN SAY YOU ARE LANGUISTIC.
Tabas@kasiba
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...
@@kasajampi3815 you too!
Sarawakian can speak at least 3 language/dialets.
That's right!
Manah amat, aku pan belajar jako Iban ari seduai.
terimak kasih mayuh² 11:54
You're absolutely right! I tend to mix Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Iban together sometimes. haha
Chopstick - Bilek.
That sounds very similar to Bilik, Room. 😳
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Apuuu, ketawak ku ninga nuan bejaku Iban wai. Aku pan nemu mimit ja jaku Iban.
