Whakatauki: He waha huka - A frothy mouth, i.e, all words, no substance. [Kohikohinga Whakatauki a Raupo, pg 114] Atua Wahine: Parawhenuamea.

Kia ora ra! I love our purakau -- especially when I can find it in Maori as opposed to it being rewritten in English. Anyways today's purakau is about Rangi and Papa and the separation. This purakau comes from Kai Tahu. You can read along here, page 22. https://archive.org/details/ancienthistoryof01whit/page/22/mode/2up This purakau is a continuation of one which I brought up in a previous episode...

Kia ora e te iwi! This week is a bit different, as I wanted to speak on my experience learning and teaching myself Hawaiian. I wanted to try and give a nice benchmark of where I am at, so I have attempted to speak completely in the olelo about my experience. I offer a reo Maori dub for comprehension. The main points really that I wish to drive home is: 1st - Find your why. It just need's to be eno...

Kia ora! Today I have our first guest speaker! I korero with my friend Mikaere. We are new friends to each other, and, what a treasure it is to build a friendship around speaking Maori to each other. We wananga today about various interests, te reo of course, etymology and some common etymological myths such as Aloha being a combo of Alo and Ha (grateful to Hawaiian language advocate and expert Dr...

Aloha! Tena tatou e te whanau whanui! Our whanaunga, our tuakana, are celebrating Hawaiian language month so I thought i'd do my little bit to hapai the kaupapa too. I've been learning the olelo for just over 2.5 years now, and I thought it would be nice to share a purakau from one of the books I have. I've done it line by line, olelo, then te reo (I've tried to get the reo as close to the olelo,...

Tena tatou! This week I wanted to speak on some of the genius of te reo maori, and how useful I have found our use of personifying our environment and everyday phenomena has been in my own life. Whakatauki - Taringa muhu kai (Ears groping for food.) [Te Kohikohinga Whakatauki a Raupo, pg 9] Whakautu Patai - "Me kaua..." - Is this correct? No. This is incorrect. Te Whanau Wiremu has this to say: [A...

Kia ora ano tatou! This week I came across a really short excerpt regarding a korero of Tangaroa and Papatuanuku being lovers. I had known of this story beforehand however it is always nice finding references to korero. You can find the korero here: Transactions and proceedings of the New Zealand Institute. pg. 31. If you are interested in atua maori, an easy place to find the source material is t...

Kia ora ki a tatou! I know I have spoken on this topic before, but it's something that i come across often enough that I wanted to touch on it again. My personal goal is to strive to speak the reo which was spoken by our tupuna (obviously not completely possible, but I want it to be as close as can be). I want my reo maori to be reo maori, rather than english masked as maori. Olelo Hawaii language...

Kia ora! I'm excited for todays episode. I thought I would do a language comparison of Te Reo Maori and Olelo Kanaka. Do excuse my olelo pronunciation. I'm still working on improving it, as I definitely sound like a Maori speaking Hawaiian haha. Enjoy! Olelo Kanaka: Mokuna Ekahi - Ke Keiki i Pakele Reo Maori: Te Wahanga Tuatahi - Te Tama i Ora tonu Olelo Kanaka: Ua ha'aheo o Mr laua o Mrs Durley o...
