Tena tatou!I have a Patreon now. I am trying to release a few extra stuff more frequently. Check it out here:https://patreon.com/amaoripodcastThis week I found an interesting sentence on how to fake it, I also share an example of how important 'i' and 'ki' are and how it can completely change the meaning of something. I also cite and source some great comments made by Hemi Kelly regarding speaking on the breath, and taking a rest.Whakatauki:ko te ra maeneene a te rahui Tangaroa. [Kohikohinga Whakatauki a Raupo. pg. 158]Whakautu patai - kia ta te manawa5. (noun) breath.Kua rere ake te manawa nei ki runga ki te ihu (W 1971:174). / The breath travels up to the nose.Below are the references to Hemi Kelly's sources in this video of his.Whakaha - Emit breath [Te Wiremu, pg. 29]Whakanga - Take breath [Te Wiremu, pg. 225]Korero:he rereke koe i au, he rereke koe ki au. - You are different to me. You are weird, in my opinion.Wetewete:Ko te ata kau, e kawe, huna iho [Te Wiremu, pg. 17]Ka kainga e Ruawharo te manawa o Hahateururoa, ka whakaata mai nga ringaringa o nga tangata katoa o te waka, me te mea e kai ana hoki ratou.

Special - 1864 Newspaper Article - A Murder - Korero Pukapuka
Kia ora! You can find me here on Patreon where I hope to add additional value.https://patreon.com/amaoripodcastSo this week I thought I'd do a special episode, a korero pukapuka. I found a really enjoyable newspaper piece from the Maori newspapers - Te Waka Maori o Ahuriri; Te Waka Maori o Niu Tirani; Te Waka Maori o Aotearoa.This piece was published on 6 February, 1864. It's regarding the attempt on a travelling merchant's life for his wares, in a village that practiced the traditional practice of procuring drink from coconut sap.My understanding from reading this newspaper piece, is that it's a retelling of a much older story - whether true or not, I'm not sure, but it was a very enjoyable read.In the next episode I hope to give breakdowns of some of the structures used.The newspaper article can be found here:They had produced a part 2 to the story which covers the court side of things if you wanted to check that out also.I also found a video of this traditional procurement practice.You can find it here.

Tatari vs Whanga - Is there any difference?
Tena tatou! This week I look at understanding whether there is a difference between the word 'tatari' and 'whanga' because in English the nuance is lost.I also take a better look at the word 'tare' and what it means.Tare. [Te Wiremu pg. 390]1. Be drawn towards, entertain affection. Ka tare te wahine ki a Tawhaki, ka whakarere i tana tane, ka noho i a Tawhaki.2. Gasp for breath. E tare ana a Potopoto i te mamae.

Ka tatari i to raua matenga ki reira (T. 176).tāria. 1. pass. Be waited for. Ko koe e taria nei e Kohere ma.2. int. Wait a while !3. ad. By and by, after a time. Taria nei he mate e pa mai ki a Tu (T. 6). Nau mai, e Rupe, taria e haere (M. 323).tāringa, n. Circumstance, etc., of waiting.taritari, v.i. Wait. I konei tonu au taritari atu ai (S. 20).[Te Wiremu pg. 487]whanga4. v.i. Wait, lie in wait. Ka whanga te wahine nei ki era tungane ona (T. 45).[Te Wiremu pg. 365]taiwhanga2. v.t. Lurk for, wait for. Naku rawa i huri atu ki te taiwhanga ki a Te Wherowhero (M. 148). ‖ whanga.whangaKīhai i roa e whanga ana ka tīmata te heru mai o te tai, tere tonu te haere mai o te wai. Kīhai i taro kua tae mai ki te wāhi i noho ai a Parapoa rātou ko ōna hoa (TWMNT 2/5/1876:104). / He was not long waiting when the tide began to rise, and the waters rushed in. It wasn't long before they reached the place where Balboa and his companions were sitting.
Kia ora! Welcome to this podcast! As per the title, it's a Maori podcast and I am Maori. I try to keep the podcast completely in Te Reo, this is mainly because I want to improve my own language skills, and the best way to do it is to completely speak the language. I share my insights into learning and improving my reo Maori skills especially as someone that doesn't reside back in the homeland. Hoi ano, nahaku noa, I hope that you enjoy this mahi, and I'm proud to be Maori and to share our language. Ko te reo kia rere!If you live abroad and need a place to hang out, I finally found a great hangout spot filled with Maori speakers here.Discord - Reo MaoriI also have a Patreon where I hope to add some additional value.
