Kwenye kiingereza, kuna neno kama 'what do you do?" Na maana yake nini?

[CalvinPower]

Kumbuka ni 'what' na sio 'how'

Hakuna what do you do. Yaani unakutana na mtu tu unamuuliza neno what di you do... No
Kuna hili neno lingine. How do you make it? Usitafsiri. Ni neno kama unavyosema how do you do ila lina maana tofauti.

 

[cosmonaut]

Mkuu usilazimishe kufanya tafsiri ya moja kwa moja...
Kwenye lugha Kuna kunavitu vinaitwa umahili wa lugha... Hi no pale mtu anapoweza kucheza na phrases za Maneno au sentence fupi fupi lakina bado wakaelewana
Mfano.... Ukimwambia mtu "Habari" kama Ni mswali kweli ataikia "POA" maaana hiyo Ni salamu, lakini ilitakiwa iwe "Habari za saa hizi/asubuhi/mchana/jiono" lakini imefupishwa na wazungumza wanaelewana,ila ukimwambia "HABARI" mtu asiyekuwa mahili was kiswahili(kajifunza tu labada mrusi) lazima ataona unakosea au hata elewa kuwa unamaanisha salamu "HABARI ZA SAAHIZI"

ndo same formula hiyo phrase "what do u do... " mahili was kiingereza/British/Americans wanafupisha kuulizana "what do you do for a living"

Sio kweli. Swali lingelikuwa hivi; What are yu doing? Lakini kwa swali lake, kiswahili ni; Unafanyaga shughuli gani?

 

[cosmonaut]

Safi kabisa, namaliza ubishi wa kipumbavu huku!

Yeah unafanya kazi/shughurani Kama chanzo chako Cha mapato kuendesha maisha yako....
Huku kwetu tumelelewa mchanganyiko na misingi ya kijamaa kuliza Hilo swali mtu anaona kama unadharau.....
Ila jamii za wapepari wa kimagharibi Ni swali la kawaida tu kwenye mazungumzo na mtu ambeye ndo mnafamiana au mmepotezana kwa muda mrefu,u want to catch up.....

 

[ndammu]

Katika mabishano yetu, huyu hakuwa akimaanisha kinachofanyika kwa mwendelezo bali mara moja, na akawa anatumia "how do you do"

"How do you do"? Nijuavyo mimi ni salamu.

 

[ndammu]

Sasa mbona nilivyouliza "what have you done" kwa kiswahili umejibu " hivi - "Ulifanyaje/ulifanya nini"? Halafu sasa hivi unakiri kwamba "what have you done" ni "umefanya nini"?

Na "what did you do"?

 

[cosmonaut]

Wewe sasa ndio unapotosha. Kwa faida yako na wengine HOW DO YOU DO? ni SALAMU(VERY FORMAL) ambayo jibu lake utashangaa kusikia ni hio hio HOW DO YOU DO? Kiingereza cha shule hutajua hio.

Kwahio ukikutana na Mwingereza mka-shake hands huku anakuuliza HOW DO YOU DO? Mjibu hivyo hivyo HOW DO YOU DO?

Mkuu hapo umemaliza kabisa, watu wanataka kutumia kiingereza Cha darasani kutafsiri hizo phrase......
Ni sawa na mtu aliyejifunza kiswahili huko Canada usalimie "NIAJE" hutamucha kapa.
yaaani angalau ukisema "Mambo Niaje" anaweza ambulia kitu

 

[FRANCIS DA DON]

"How do you do"? Nijuavyo mimi ni salamu.

I meant 'what' ila nimejichanganya na kuweka 'how'

 

[ndammu]

What do you do maana yake HABARI ZA SIKU NYINGI. Salamu hii unampa mtu ambaye hamjaonana muda mrefu

Umweupe kumbe.

 

[benyx]

Naomba kufahamu

means what time is it?

 

[mzamifu]

Lakini "what do u do" inatakiwa iandamane na "for a living" ikamilike.. ukiiacha hivyo inabaki tungo tata.. maana present tense ni "doing", so kama ukimuuliza mtu anafanya nini = what r u doing.. Accordin to my ngumbaru hiyo[emoji3][emoji3]

Ni kweli lakini sometimes hukiukwa katika spoken English. Mfano watu huzoea kusema Bye Bye ambayo ni sawa na kusema Kwa Kwa na haina maana yoyote hivi ni lazima ikamilike kwa kusema goodbye
Hata ukisema Morning ni kukatisha tu na unaeleweka bali umesema asubuhi na kimsingi hujasalimia hadi ukisema Godmorning

 

[Joowzey]

How do you do

 

[dong yi]

unafanya nini?

 

[dong yi]

Na " what are you doing?" Utasemaje?

kwan sentens mbili haziwezi kuwa na maana moja?

 

[dong yi]

Na " what are you doing?" Utasemaje?

doing (unaniuliza nafanya nini saiz- present tense)

do (nafanya nini - PP tense)

Naomba kufahamu

Vipi hali yako /wajisikiaje?

 

[dong yi]

Exactly my point, kuna mtu alikuwa ananibishia hapa hivyo nataka nimuonyesh huu uzi. Nimemwambia hiyo ni sawa na kusema "unafanya kazi gani?", yeye anang'ang'ania kusema kwamba ni "unafanya nini?", nimesikia hasira hadi nimeanzisha uzi nimuonyeshe, maana tumebishana lisaa lizima, yeye hataki kukubali n mimi sitaki kukubali kwa sababu nafahamu i am right!

hajui kama wewe na kingereza ni samaki na maji!![emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

 

[dong yi]

Yeye alisema "what do you do" kumaanisha kitu alichokifanya mtu muda huo, ndio nikamrekebisha, basi ikawa nongwa, acha tu

huyo atakua kasoma st kayumba!

Jamani tuacheni uzushi au kukisia bila kuwa na hakika na jambo. Bye-bye haina uhusiano na kwa-kwa kama ulivyosema na pia haihusiani na maneno by by ambayo ndiyo tungeweza kuyatafsiri kwa kiswahili kama kwa kwa. Etymologically bye-bye imetokana na ongeaji ya watoto badala ya kutamka neno kamili goodbye wao wakazoea kusema kwa kifupi bye-bye (na siyo by-by) hatimaye ikaja kuzoeleka hata kwa wakubwa kufupisha hivyo hadi hii leo.
