| competency hearing (us english) paglilitis sa kakayahan (ng isang tao) Explanation: Your document talks about hearing as in legal terms not the sensory perception. I suggest you keep the original version and then put in parenthesis the explanation or translation. See the reference for more info about the meaning of the term competency hearing. Here's what I understood in the text you mentioned: "it was not declared that s/he is unable (incompetent) to think for her/himself through competency hearing..."

| competency hearing (us english) pagdinig upang malaman/matiyak/tiyakin ang kakayahan ng isang tao Explanation: (and you can add 'kakayahang mag-isip/kakayahang tumupad sa tungkulin' etc. depending on the context) Hearing in this context should be paGdinig (not paNdinig) Hearing (3) judicial hearing: Pagdinig The preliminary hearing... Ang panimulang pagdinig (L. James English Dictionary) Competence Kakayahan (L. James English Dictionary) A competency hearing is... a hearing that is held... to determine if a person is able to handle their own affairs. (http://www.faqfarm.com/) A competency hearing is part of the legal procedure for determining the competence (mental capacity/ability to perform a duty) of an individual. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-06-25 11:25:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Paglilitis could mean any of the three: investigation, hearing, trial. http://www.tagalog-dictionary.com/cgi-bin/search.pl?s=paglil... And a hearing is not the same as a trial. A hearing is generally distinguished from a trial in that it is usually shorter and often less formal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_(law) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-06-25 11:49:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- needless to say i would include the the source term in parenthesis (or keep the source term and then add the translation/tagalog explanation in parenthesis) |
