Hello Katabah!
Remember….! Sundanese
and Sudanese are different. Sundanese is a local language (vernacular)
in Indonesia, while Sudanese is a language of Sudan (a country of Middle East).
To start our lesson,
let’s know personal pronoun of Sundanese language!
They: aranjeunna
(polite), maranehna (usual/middle)
We: urang
I: abdi (polite), kuring
(usual)
You: anjeun (polite),
maneh (usual)
She: anjeunna (polite),
manehna (usual)
He: anjeunna (polite),
manehna (usual)
In fact, there are some
words related personal pronoun in Sundanese, especially wild personal pronouns,
for example:
1. “Aing” for subject
“I”
2. “Silaing” or “sia”
for subject “you”
We will understand the
words above more easily by making some sentences.
So, learning personal
pronoun is enough challenging, moreover when we learn Sundanese verbs, it is more
challenging too. Let’s see this verbal sentence:
Abdi neda (polite)
Abdi dahar (middle)
Abdi daang (wild)
* neda, dahar and daang
mean “eat”.
Bapak tuang
(Father eats)
Anjing nyatu.
(A dog eats)
Abdi emam.
(I eat)
* tuang, nyatu and emam mean
“eat”
* “tuang” is a polite
verb for human
* “nyatu” is a wild
verb. It’s usually used for animal.
* “emam” is a polite
verb special for kids.
