Ina rongo koe i tētahi e kī ana "He hikareti tāu?" i ngā tiriti o Rānana, kaua e hē te whakaaro, ehara tēnei i te whakatoi - kei te pātai noa mai rātou mēnā he hikareti tāu. I te UK, he maha ngā ingoa rerekē mō ngā hikareti. He "ingoa motuhake" anō ō ngā wā rerekē, ō ngā tau rerekē, tae atu ki ngā porowhita pāpori rerekē.
I tēnei rā ka kōrero tātou mō ngā ingoa hikareti whakamere o te UK me ngā kōrero kei muri i ēnei kupu. Ki te hiahia koe ki te ahurea o Peretānia, ki te reo kē, ki te whakapuakitanga reo rānei, kaua e mahue tēnei tuhinga!
Ahakoa ko tēhea whenua e kōrero ana i te reo Pākehā, ko "Cigarettes" te kupu tino paerewa me te tino ōkawa. I te UK, e whakamahia ana tēnei kupu i roto i ngā pūrongo pāpāho, ngā tuhinga whaimana, ngā tapanga toa, me ngā tuhinga ture.
I roto i te oranga o ia rā, ki te haere koe ki te toa hoko hikareti, e kore rawa koe e hē ki te kī atu "He putea hikareti, tēnā koa." He ingoa koretake tēnei, ā, e whakaaetia whānuitia ana, ahakoa te pakeke, te tuakiri, te rohe rānei.
Mena he kupu e tino whakaatu ana i te "ahurea kaipaipa" o Peretānia, ko "Fag" te tikanga. I te UK, ko te "fag" tētahi o ngā kīanga rongonui mō ngā hikareti. Hei tauira:
"He pēpi tāu?"
"Kei te haere ahau ki waho mō te puremu."
He kaha te kakara o te kupu "Fag" i roto i te ahurea tiriti o Peretānia, ā, he maha ngā wā ka whakamahia i roto i ngā whakawhitiwhiti kōrero ōkawa i waenga i ngā hoa. Heoi, me mōhio kei te Hononga o Amerika, he kupu whakatoi te kupu "fag", nō reira kia tūpato ina whakamahia ana i roto i ngā whakawhitiwhiti kōrero whakawhiti-rohe.
Tohutohu: I te UK, ko ngā wā okioki hikareti ka kiia ko ngā "wā okiokinga hikareti".
Kei te hiahia koe ki te whakapuaki mārire, mā te takaro hoki? Whakamātauria te kupu "Ciggies". He whakarāpopototanga ātaahua tēnei nō te "cigarette" ā, he maha ngā wā e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā kōrerorero marino, hoahoa hoki, me te iti o te whanaungatanga me te mahana.
Hei tauira:
"Kei te haere noa ahau ki waho mō te hikareti."
"He hikareti tāpiri tāu?"
He kupu noa ake tēnei i waenga i te hunga rangatahi me ngā wāhine, ā, he ngawari ake, he ātaahua ake te kīanga, he pai mō ngā huihuinga kāore i te tino "auahi".
Ahakoa kāore i te whakamahia whānuitia i ēnei rā, tera pea ka rangona tonutia e koe ngā kupu "Squares" me "Tabs" i ētahi wāhi o te UK, i waenga rānei i te hunga kaumātua.
"Ngā Tapawhā": I puta tuatahi mai tēnei ingoa i muri i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, ā, ko te nuinga o te wā e whakamahia ana hei whakaahua i ngā hikareti pouaka, ko te tikanga he "pouaka hikareti tapawhā";
"Ripa": e kitea ana i te raki-mā-rāwhiti o Ingarangi, ā, he kupu rongonui nō te rohe.
Ahakoa he ahua tawhito te tangi o ēnei kupu, he whakaata tō rātou noho mai i te kanorau me ngā āhuatanga ā-rohe o te reo me te ahurea o Peretānia.
Tohutohu: I Yorkshire, i Newcastle rānei, tera pea ka tūtaki koe ki tētahi kaumātua e kī ana "tabs". Kaua e miharo, kei te pātai noa mai ia mēnā he hikareti tāu.
Ko ngā ingoa hikareti a te iwi Piritana ehara i te mea he rerekētanga reo anake, engari he whakaata hoki i ngā rerekētanga o te karaehe pāpori, te tuakiri, te rohe me te ahurea.
He kupu paerewa te "hikareti", e whakaata ana i te tikanga me ngā tikanga;
He rite te tae o "Fags" ki te ahurea tiriti, ā, he tata ki te hunga mahi;
He mea takaro, he mea whakangāwari hoki te "Ciggies", ā, he mea rongonui ake i waenga i te hunga rangatahi;
He wāhanga iti noa iho o ngā reo ā-rohe me te ahurea o te hunga kaumātua ngā kupu "Ripa" / "Tapawhā".
Koinei te ataahua o te reo Peretānia – he rerekē ngā ingoa o te mea kotahi i roto i ngā rōpū tāngata rerekē, ā, ka rerekē te reo i runga i te wā, te wāhi me ngā whanaungatanga pāpori.
Ki te mea kei te whakaaro koe ki te haere ki te UK, ki te ako ki tāwāhi, ki te kōrero rānei ki ngā kiritaki o Peretānia, he tino āwhina te mārama ki ēnei ingoa. Anei ētahi whakaaro:
| Te wā | Ngā kupu i tūtohutia | Whakaahuatanga |
| Ngā huihuinga ōkawa (pēnei i te pakihi, te hokohoko) | Ngā hikareti | Paerewa, haumaru, ā, whānui hoki |
| Te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero i waenga i ngā hoa i ia rā | Ngā hikareti / Ngā hikareti | He taiao ake, he tūturu ake hoki |
| Ngā kupu ā-rohe | Ngā Ripa / Ngā Tapawhā | He mea whakamere engari kāore i te whakamahia whānuitia, i ētahi wāhi anake |
| Ngā kupu tuhituhi, ngā kupu pānuitanga rānei | Ngā hikareti / Ngā hikareti | Whakamahia kia ngāwari me te kāhua |
Ahakoa he iti noa te ingoa o ngā hikareti, he wāhanga iti noa iho o te momo reo o te hapori Peretānia. Ka kitea e koe, mai i te "fags" ki te "ciggies", he horopaki pāpori, he papamuri ahurea, tae atu ki te reka o te wā o ia kupu. Mena he aro nui koe ki te reo, he hiahia rānei kia mārama ake ki te oranga o te rohe i te UK, he pai ake pea te maumahara ki ēnei kupu whakakatakata i tō whakaaro.
A te wā ka rongo koe i te kupu "Kei a koe he hikareti?" i te kokonga o te tiriti i Rānana, me menemene noa koe, me te whakahoki: "Āe, e hoa. Anei." – Ehara i te mea he taunekeneke pāpori noa iho tēnei, engari he tīmatanga anō hoki o te whakawhitiwhiti ahurea.
Ki te hiahia koe ki te mōhio atu mō te reo Pākehā, ngā rerekētanga ahurea i ngā whenua e kōrero ana i te reo Pākehā, ngā au o te takai tupeka i te mākete o te ao, waiho mai he karere, ohauru rānei ki taku rangitaki. Kia haere tonu tātou ki te tūhura i ngā mea hou i roto i te haerenga o te reo me te ahurea!
