Te Matatiki Hou

Katahi ano nei ka whakaterea te putanga tuarua o te papakupu a te Taura Whiri e kia nei ko Te Matatiki. E rua nga rereketanga matua i tenei o nga putanga. Tuatahi, kua hoatu he maramara whakapapa ki nga kupu katoa e kitea ai te takenga mai o te kupu hou, tuarua, neke atu i te rua mano, e rima rau nga kupu hou e noho mai ana i tenei o ngaMzta/z'Aikaore i roto i te putanga tuatahi. Kia kaua Te Taura Whiri e horihori nana katoa nga kupu hou nei i hanga. Kia tikina atu ko nga kupu pangarau hei whakatauira i tenei, a, mei kore ake te ropu Maori nana nei i hanga nga kupu o Te Tauaki Marautanga Pangarau - He Tauira, i puta i te tau 1994. Kua raua mai a ratou kupu ki tenei o nga Matatiki i runga i te tumanako ka watea ake kite katoa e manako ana kite ao pangarau.

Ara atu ano nga kupu i hangaia e hinengaro noa atu, a, kua toro atu te ringa o Te Taura Whiri ki era hei putakenga mo etahi o ana kupu. Hei tauira, ko te kupurorohikotena. Kua noho mai te kupurorohiko hei kaui mo te rorohiko ponaho, ara, te rorohiko ‘noho ki pona’.

Ara ano nga kupu kua maro hitararl te noho mai ki to tatou reo, ka mutu, mai ano i whakamahia e nga tipuna meta ratou whakanoho tika mai ki to ratou reo tuauriuri. Ko te kupu waka tera, ko te kupuparaoa tera. Koinei ano etahi tumomo kupu kua noho mai hei tahuhu mo etahi o nga kupu hou. He kupu atu ano kua rokohina atu i roto i nga ketuketunga pukapuka, a, kua ukuia ko te kupu i noho mai kite tuatahi o nga Matatiki , a, kua whakanohoia mai he kupu atu ano ki tenei. I penei ai na te mea kua tupono atu he kupu atu ano, mete whakaaro ka hangai ake pea te tikanga o tenei o nga kupu i tera o te mea e noho mai ana i te putanga tuatahi.

Kua tupono atu he kupu Maori ke atu ano e orite ana te tikanga ki etahi atu kupu Maori kua roa e noho mai ana hei hoa mo etahi kupu Pakeha. Hei tauira, ko te kupukainamu. Mai ano ko te kuputatatetahi o nga kupu e hangai ana ki nga kupu Pakeha penei i te ‘almost’ mete ‘nearly’. Ehara ite mea e pare atu ana te tuara kite kupu tata, engari ko te hiahia ke, ko te whakahoki mai ite kupukainamu, mete hiahia ano kia rua, kia torn nga kupu Maori e hangai ana te tikanga kite kupu Pakeha kotahi. He titiro whakamua kei roto i tenei ahuatanga, ara, ko te tumanako ka taia tetahi puna kupu Maori a taihoa ake nei, ara, i roto i nga tau ki mua.

Ara ano tetahi ahuatanga i rereke ai tenei o nga Matatiki i te mea tuatahi - kaore e taea tenei o nga pukapuka te hoko i te tari o te Taura Whiri. Kei nga whare hoko pukapuka ke o te motu e hokona atu ana, a, i tenei wa, $16.95 te utu. Kei raro nei etahi o nga kupu ‘hou’ kei tenei o nga Matatiki, engari kia paku whakamaramahia te hangai mai o te kupu nei ‘hou’. Kaore tenei e tika hei whakaahua i nga kupu Maori, i te mea no tuauri whaoioi ke nga kupu. Engari mena ka tirohia te tikanga kua hoatu ki enei kupu, hei konei kua tika te whakamahi i te kupu ‘hou’. He whanui tonu nga tikanga o etahi o nga kupu Pakeha e noho mai ana i te papakupu nei. Mena e whenei ana te ahua, kei kona e taiepa ana te whaitinga o te whakaaro e whaia ana, kei muri tonu mai i te pikaunga-kupu. Whai muri tonu mai i enei whakawhaitinga, ko te kupu Maori e hangai ana kite kupu Pakeha, me tona putakenga mai. I tikina atu te nuinga o enei takenga mai i te papakupu a Wiremu (ko te ‘W’ e tohu ana i tenei), ko etahi atu, kei te Matatiki tonu (TM), a, kite kore i reira, i etahi atu pukapuka (penei i a Te Peehi), i te reo Maori tonu ranei e korerohia nuitia ana, huri i te motu.
