This 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 manawa 5. (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. [Te Wiremu, pg. 18]
More from A Maori Podcast
E hoa ma! I'm excited to share with you the Maori language challenge I've set for myself. Basically, I'm introducing an old custom, an old practice that was quite common amongst our tupuna. That is implementing tapu onto our speech.
Kia ora e te iwi! I was so fortunate to speak with my new friend Ronik and talk about his journey towards speaking te reo Maori.
