Get the Matai mug.A very Sabahan word.
It is similar to "Ok".
It's so common in Sabah.
And it works just like the word "Ok".
Sometimes, people use "Ok" and "Bah" together.
Which just makes your "Confirmation" sound more emphasised.

Get the Bah mug.In Sabah, it is the other way to say "Boleh" in Malay.
It is an affirmative word meaning:
- Can
- Yes, can.
- Yes, you/they/... can.
(You get the point)

Get the buli mug.It is a "word" or just an exclamation that Sabahans commonly use to say "Shoo!".
Specifically to a dog.
That's all there is.
Oh, and another variant:
-Sika po!

Get the pikir mug.It's a..... "Charm Word"?
Is that what you call it?
Well, it's just a phrase you could occasionally hear Sabahans say when they fear that something might happen.
Usually a bad thing.
It's like a phrase to repel a jinx.
At the same time, people might "knock" on something while they say this.
And there's another variant:
-Palis-palis, jauh-jauh
"Jauh" meant "far".
Since it's pluralised, then it means either "far away" or "go away".
And idk what "palis-palis" means.
