Sebuah akhbar tempatan pada 29 Oktober yang lalu menarik perhatian saya. Satu berita menceritakan kejadian sebuah rumah yang terbakar disebabkan oleh kerosakan penghawa dingin, berita seterusnya dalam halaman yang lain pula menceritakan keistimewaan sebuah kereta yang dilengkapi dengan pendingin hawa. Manakala satu iklan memaparkan satu jenama penghawa dingin yang mempunyai ciri-ciri istimewa. Yang mana satukah yang betul?
Dalam panduan Pedoman Bahasa yang dikeluarkan oleh DBP, menetapkan bahawa 'pendingin hawa' sebagai betul. Kata pendingin hawa yang dipinjamkan daripada perkataan Inggeris, 'air-condition' merupakan frasa nama yang terbit atau berasal daripada dua jenis kata yang berlainan iaitu dingin dan hawa.
Persoalan timbul ialah bagaimana hukum DM (diterang dan menerangkan) dijadikan asas dalam pembentukan kata nama ini. Adakah 'dingin atau 'hawa' . Dalam bahasa Melayu kata nama (benda) mendahului kata adjektif, misalnya rumah baharu, budak hitam bukannya baharu rumah (new house) atau hitam budak (black boy) dan sebagainya. Berdasarkan rumus ini mengapakah DBP menggunakan kata 'dingin' sebagai kata adjektif (KA) menjadikan pendingin mendahului kata nama iaitu hawa? . Jika sebuah mesin digunakan untuk memanaskan sesuatu maka dikatakan mesin pemanas , begitu juga peti sejuk bukannya sejuk peti atau peti penyejuk. Mengapa peti sejuk tidak diterima sebagai 'penyejuk peti' dengan menambah kata imbuhan 'pe...' menjadi frasa nama. Walau apapun, DBP sebagai badan berautoriti dalam mengembangkan bahasa Melayu mempunyai alasan tersendiri berkaitan masalah ini.

The Story of The Ducks And a Torties
On last week of September 30, I was delivering a speech in school assemblies to meet MBMMBI program. Story about a duck with a tortoise that I have read from the book belongs my late father's. I was just learning to read at that time about seven to eight years. My father was studying at Kelas Dewasa or Adult Class that time, for those who are still illiterate. The book relatively large size , written in capital letters and a lot of pictures every pages, therefor my interest in reading increased.
The lessons of this story is very interesting.
Firstly, we have to work together in the face of problems in difficult situations or shine. Two ducks who always play and dive in a pool together and befriended the tortoise facing crisis because the dry season comes. Ponds turn dry up and all the ducks there have moved to other places. But they are still there because they unwilling to leave closed friend who is standing for so long.
Second, we must exercise patience and practised an open mind, criticism or accusations of others. For instance, tortoise has opened his mouth while flying as angry crowds greet him causing him falling down and die.
So, do we all have these qualities in our lives?
