ENGLISH—TOKELAU
WORDLIST
FO REW A RD
The aim o f this section is to provide a p artial index to th e T o k e la u — English D ictionary.
R eaders should be aw are o f th e follow ing points. Firstly, the entries do n o t give T okelau an
definitions o f English w ords in the sam e way th a t th e D ictionary gives English definitions
o f T okelauan w ords. Instead, they refer readers to entries in th e T okelau D ictionary which
are the closest equivalents to the English w ord, o r which will help the reader to express the
English concept in T o kelau an . It is im p o rtan t th a t readers refer back to the D ictionary
entries in order to learn how the w ords are used an d w hich w ords are m ost a p p ro p ria te for
their purpose. Secondly, this w ordlist is not a reversal o f th e T ok elau - English D ictionary.
C onsequently, m any T okelau w ords are not represented here, in m ost cases because they
are not close equivalents to com m on English w ords, or they d en o te item s not expressed by
single w ords o f E nglish..
T he aim has been to include all English w ords in com m on use. H ow ever, a n u m b er o f
fairly com m on English w ords have been o m itted , fo r one o f the follow ing reasons:
(1) They do not have T o k elau an lexical equivalents, fo r exam ple th e English w ord
‘ad v en tu re’. In such cases a p a rap h rase is needed in o rd er to express th e idea in
T okelauan, and readers should m ake use o f a m onolingual English D ictionary as an
adjunct to this volum e.
(2) T heir T okelauan equivalents are derived w ords form ed by prod u ctiv e rules o f
T okelau gram m er (see G ram m er 2.4.1). F o r exam ple, m any English negative w ords
beginning wit h un- o r im- have T o k elau an tran slatio n s which are form ed in a
similar way, by using th e negative particle he b efo re a w ord w ith positive
m eaning.), for exam ple ‘im possible’ he mafai. M ost such w ords have been o m itted
from the w ordlist. H ow ever, w hen an English w ord with a negative prefix is
translated by a non-negative lexical item in T o k elau an , it is included, fo r exam ple
‘u n co m fo rtab le’ logokino.
W ord-class inform ation is n o t given with th e m ajo rity o f entries in th e w ordlist. Very
frequently an idea is expressed by d ifferen t w ord classes in th e tw o languages. F o r exam ple,
the English preposition ‘a fte r’, referring to tim e, as in ‘afte r th e g am e’ an d ‘a fte r three
o ’clo ck ’, corresponds to tw o T o k elau an verbs, uma an d teka. T he m eaning o f th e English
adverb ‘aw ay’ can be expressed in T o k elau an by m eans o f the post-verbal particle atu or
the verbs kehe or mamao. In o th er cases b o th th e English an d the T o k elau an w ord belong
to m ore th an one w ord class. W hen w ord-class in fo rm atio n is included, it is in o rd e r to
avoid am biguity betw een differen t senses o f th e English w ord. F o r exam ple, th e English
w ord ‘b u rn ’ can be transitive o r intransitive. In its intransitive use, it can refer to fire, o r to
objects consum ed in a fire. T o k elau an sees three differen t senses o f ‘b u rn ’ and uses three
different lexical items:
Tokelauan
English
Intransitive:
T he fire is burning
T he house is burning
T ransitive
T om is burning the rubbish
E ola te afi
E m ū te fa le
E huh unu e Toma te otaota
Scien t ific n o m enclature fo r species is given in th e T ok elau -English D ictionary. H ow ever,
species nam es are included in the w ordlist in such a way as to m ake it easy fo r English
readers to retrieve this in fo rm atio n from th e D ictionary. F o r exam ple, T okelau nam es o f
fish are listed u nder the entry fish spp. In ad d itio n , th ere are m any entries fo r English ver­
nacular nam es o f species. U n d er snapper are listed th e T o k elau an nam es o f fish in the
sn apper category (L u tjan id ae); u n d er Convict Tang the T o k elau an nam e o f th a t fish can be
fo und. In the case o f fish, shellfish, birds an d plants this in fo rm atio n is as com plete as the
cu rren t state o f identificatio n s allows.
