I would like to express this in my Papar kadazan dialect for fun but it is quite comparably close to penampang

dialect. It would be better if i could post voice recordings of how i pronounce it so you could hear the intonation
or else it would sound rather flat by just reading off this post.Anyway here goes
1) Are you busy now?
Ogumu mangan nu maino? (literally meaning: are you doing a lot of things now?)
2) Good bye.
Panau poh/Mugad noh/bah (actually saying: i'm going away or in Sabah BM: sia jalan dulu,'bah' is a universal
common word)
3) Do you want me to call now or Will you call me back?
Talipunai ku maino toi iziau ii minalipaun zou?
4) I miss you.
Hangadon zou diau (I really like this song i wonder if someone has the mp3 for this?)
5) What time will you arrive?
Songian ko do moikot?
6) Is everything ok?
Avasi ii ngavi?
7) Have you eaten?
Ka'akan ko no? [Then i'd answer: Amu poh(not yet) ...i'm hungry. Someone donate me some donuts! ]
How's work?
Hingkuo no ii kalaja nu?
9) Get well soon.
Sikapon no do ogingol kio?
10) Have a nice day.
Kopivosian.
