Hi,

This is from a dictionary :


bid-ding

1.A demand that something be done; a command. 2. A request to appear; a summons. 3. Bids considered as a group, as at an auction or in card games: The bidding was higher than expected.

And this is from Thesaurus :


bid-ding

An obligatory directive : command

Bambang:

This should use
to bide (check Clive's answer)
not
to bid
It's not the same.

I hope this is what you meant by your posting.
