tagah-tagah
N-
to address someone using their proper (given) name.
It is considered disrespectful for a married Samal woman to address her husband by his given name. Also, when a couple has children, the most common substitute for a name is "father/mother of so-and-so" employing the name of the first-born child. This convention is also common in many Asian countries. Other substitutes include various pet names such as +"Hey" , +"Indah" , etc.
Daa tagah-tagah ta bang asiyaka min kita.
We shouldn't address [someone] without a title if they are older than we [are old].
Pabiyasa kow, ha? Nagah-nagah, kobet ku iyey bowah nu.
You are becoming accustomed, huh? Keep saying just names not using titles, I may pinch your mouth.
Daa na tagah-tagaun bapah nu ya.
Don't address your uncle now without using a title for him.
