mandah-dah
0
to be physically ill because of supposed psychosomatic causes, as when one is offended, later he becomes sick.
Sometimes one will be pronounced mandah-dah when one is ill, but the sick person does not recall being offended by anyone and no one recalls offending him. If a person is declared mandah-dah , the person who caused this condition [or who is named and presumed to have cause it] is supposed to bring a gift to cure it. However, anyone can bring a gift to help the person get well, even if he is not the supposed causer.
Itu na pangamuan ku, daa na kow mandah-dah.
Here is my gift to you now, don't you feel bad anymore.
If we see a new child just born, we should bring whatever [gift] so he will not feel bad.
If we see a newborn, we should give him a gift so that he won't feel bad.
