Ki te whakaarohia te ao o te whakawhiti reo, he whānui te aputa i waenga i te reo Māori, tētahi o ngā reo kōrero o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, me te reo Urdu, he reo matua nō te uru o Āhia. Ahakoa ngā tīpako rerekē o ēnei reo e rua, kei roto i te mahi whakawhiti reo tētahi arawhata e tūhono ana i ngā ao e rua. Ko te kaupapa nui o tēnei tuhinga, he wetewete i ngā uauatanga, ngā huarahi whaihua, me ngā ariā hōhonu e hāngai ana ki te whakawhiti i te kōrero mai i te reo Māori ki te reo Urdu, kia puta ai he tuhinga e whakaatu ana i te mana me te tapu o ngā reo e rua.
Te Hanganga o te Rerenga Kōrero: Mai i te VSO ki te SOV
Ko te rerekētanga nui i waenga i ngā reo e rua, ko te tūnga o ngā kupu i roto i te rerenga kōrero. I te reo Māori, ko te hanganga ritenga ko te Tūmahi-Kaimahi-Mea (VSO). Mō te tauira, "Ka kōrero te kaiako i te reo Māori." I konei, ka tīmata te rerenga kōrero ki te tūmahi "kōrero," ka whai ake te kaimahi "te kaiako," ā, ka mutu ki te mea "i te reo Māori."
Heoi anō, i te reo Urdu, ko te hanganga ritenga ko te Kaimahi-Mea-Tūmahi (SOV). Ki te whakawhitia taua kōrero rā ki te reo Urdu, ka pēnei te hanga: "Teacher Māori language speaks" (Kaiako reo Māori kōrero ana). Nā konei, me mātua mohio te kaiwhakawhiti reo ki te wete i te rerenga Māori, ki te tatari i te tūnga o ia kupu, katahi ka hanga hou i te rerenga i roto i te reo Urdu kia rere rangatira ai. Ki te kore e whai i tēnei huarahi, ka mārō, ka rerekē hoki te tikanga o te kōrero ki te taringa o te tangata Urdu.
I te reo Māori, ka whakamahia ngā kupu pū mua (prepositions) pēnei i te "i", "ki", "hei", me "kei" hei whakaatu i te hononga o ngā kupu. Heoi, i te reo Urdu, ka whakamahia ngā kupu pū muri (postpositions) pēnei i te "mein" (i roto), "se" (mai i), me "ko" (ki/mā). Hei tauira, ko te rerenga Māori "i roto i te whare" ka whakawhitia ki te reo Urdu hei "ghar mein" (whare i roto). Ko tēnei hurihanga mai i te kīanga pū mua ki te kīanga pū muri tētahi o ngā wero nui mō te kaiwhakawhiti reo, i te mea me huri katoa te huarahi o te whakaaro pūnaha.
Ngā Tikanga Ahurea me te Whakawhiti i ngā Kupu Hōhonu
He reo te reo Māori e whakatinana ana i te aomaori, te ao wairua, me te taiao. Kei reira ngā kupu nunui pēnei i te "mana," "tapu," "mauri," me te "whakapapa." Karekau he kupu kotahi i te reo Urdu e tino rite ana te tikanga ki ēnei kupu. I te reo Urdu, he maha ngā kupu i ahu mai i te reo Ārape me te reo Pahia e hāngai ana ki te ao wairua, pēnei i te "Rooh" (Mauri/Wairua), "Izzat" (Mana/Whakahonore), me te "Taqdees" (Tapu). Heoi, ahakoa te tata o te tikanga, he rerekē tonu te ao ahurea i tipu ake ai ēnei kupu.
Mēnā ka tango tatou i te kupu "whānau," he nui noa atu te tikanga i te "family" noa o te reo Ingarihi. I te reo Urdu, he maha ngā kupu mō te whānau pēnei i te "Khaandaan" (خاندان) me te "Kunba" (کنبہ). Ko te "Khaandaan" e hāngai ana ki te whānau whānui me te tātai whakapapa, e tata ana ki te tikanga o te "whānau" me te "hapū". Engari, kei te reo Māori tētahi wairua wāhine, wairua taiao hoki e pā ana ki te whānau (pēnei i te tikanga o te whenua me te whanautanga) kāore e tino kitea i te reo Urdu. Mā te marama ki ēnei rereketanga, ka taea e te kaiwhakawhiti reo te taapiri atu i etahi kupu whakamārama i te reo Urdu hei pupuri i te tapu o te kōrero taketake.
I te wā e whakawhiti ana i te kupu "kaitiakitanga," me whakaaro te kaiwhakawhiti ki te horopaki. Ki te hāngai ki te tiaki i te whenua, ka taea te whakamahi i ngā kupu pēnei i te "Muhafizat" (Tiaki/Kaitiakitanga). Engari, ki te hāngai ki te tiaki i te wairua o te iwi, me rerekē te kōwhiringa kupu. Ko te mahi a te kaiwhakawhiti reo, ehara i te whakawhiti kupu noa, engari ko te whakawhiti i te mauri o te kōrero me te whakaaro hōhonu o te iwi kainga.
Te Whakahonore me te Papa Reo: Te Kōwhiringa i te Ara Tika
Ko tētahi atu uauatanga, ko te pūnaha whakahonore i roto i te reo Urdu. I te reo Urdu, he tino nui te rerekētanga o te kōrero i runga i te rangatira o te tangata e kōrero ana koe. E toru ngā ara matua mō te kupu "koe": "Aap" (mō te tangata whai mana, te kaumātua, te tauhou rānei), "Tum" (mō te hoa, te tangata rite te pakeke), me te "Tu" (mō te tangata tino tata, te tamaiti rānei, engari ka taea hoki te whakamahi hei kupu whakaiti). Ka rerekē hoki ngā mutunga o ngā tūmahi i runga i tēnei pūnaha.
I te reo Māori, ka kitea te whakahonore i roto i ngā kupu aroha pēnei i te "rangatira," "kaumātua," me te whakamahi i ngā whakataukī hei whakanui i te tangata. Heoi, kāore te hanga o te tūmahi e rerekē pēnei i te reo Urdu. Ki te whakawhiti te kaiwhakawhiti reo i tētahi kōrero Māori ki te reo Urdu, me wetewete ia i te taumata o te hononga i waenga i te tangata kōrero me te tangata whakarongo kia kōwhiria ai te taumata whakahonore tika (Adab) i te reo Urdu.
I te reo Urdu, he tikanga nui te whakahonore mā te tāpiri i ngā kupu pēnei i te "Sahib" (صاحب) rānei, te "Janab" (جناب) rānei i muri i te ingoa o te tangata hei whakaatu i te ihi me te mana. Hei tauira, ko te kupu "rangatira" ka taea te whakawhiti hei "Janab" hei tohu i te tapu me te mana o taua tangata i roto i te horopaki Urdu. Heoi ano, me tūpato te kaiwhakawhiti kia kaua e ngaro te aroha me te hononga ā-whānau e mau ana i ngā kupu whakahonore Māori pēnei i te "kui" me te "koro," e kore nei e kitea i roto i ngā kupu whakahonore ōkawa o te reo Urdu.
He Tohutohu Whaihua mō te Kaiwhakawhiti Reo Matatau
- Mārama ki te horopaki ahurea: Kaua e whakawhiti kupu kau. Me kimi i te tikanga hōhonu o ngā kupu Māori i mua i te kōwhiri i te kupu Urdu e rite ana, kia kore ai e ngaro te wairua taketake.
- Whakarereke i te hanganga rerenga: Kia tūpato ki te hanganga VSO o te reo Māori me te hanganga SOV o te reo Urdu. Me tuhi hou te rerenga kia rere wātea ai i roto i te reo Urdu, kaua e whai i te hanga kupu-ki-te-kupu.
- Tātaritia te taumata o te whakahonore: Whiriwhiria i waenga i te "Aap" me te "Tum" i runga i te wairua o te kōrero Māori taketake me te hononga i waenga i ngā tāngata o te kōrero.
- Whakamahia ngā tuhipoka (Footnotes) me te kupu whakamārama: Ki te kore e taea te whakawhiti i tētahi kupu pēnei i te "whakapapa" me te kore e ngaro tōna mauri, he pai tonu te waiho i taua kupu, ka tuhi ai i tētahi whakamārama poto ki te reo Urdu hei whakamārama i te horopaki ki te hunga pānui.
Te Mauri o te Mahi: Te Hononga i waenga i a Aotearoa me Āhia ki te Uru
I te mutunga iho, ko te whakawhiti reo mai i te reo Māori ki te reo Urdu he mahi whakatere waka i waenga i ngā wai e rua e rerekē ana ngā ngaru. Ma te piri tonu ki te mauri o te reo Māori me te mārama hōhonu ki te wetereo me te ahurea o te reo Urdu, ka taea e te kaiwhakawhiti reo te hanga i tētahi tuhinga e kōrero ana ki te ngākau o te tangata whakarongo. Ko te hunga e mahi ana i tēnei mahi, he māngai rātou nō ngā ao e rua, e hono ana i ngā wairua o Aotearoa me te hapori kōrero Urdu huri noa i te ao, ā, ma tēnei mahi ka piki ake te hononga ahurea o te pae tawhiti.
