Just stumbled on this 9min 2011 interview with Te Ururoa Flavell, then-leader of what was still called "The Māori Party";

Mainly about their policy to make it compulsory for publicly-funded schools to offer teaching […]

At noho marae learning #TeReoMaori in 2026.
We prepared a skit to perform about a trip to the beach. The punchline is:
‘He tiko i roto i te moana!’
‘No whea ēnei tiko?’
‘No te waha o David Seymour’
(There’s poo in the water!
Where did the poo come from?
From the mouth of David Seymour’)

My hubby’s found which I’m 99% sure is tawaka, growing on a willow root by Waiwhetu river. It is a large brown mushroom that is darker brown in the middle, tan toward the outside, and dark and wrinkly around the edges. The willow root is surrounded by grass.
A few days ago I was saying I wanted to find out what the name of tawaka mushroom means.
I did. It’s because it grows on the tawa tree. Of course.
#MustodonNZ #TeReoMaori
Passed Te Reo level 4, and passed the entrance exam for level 5!
#TeReoMaori
Edited to correct myself.
Tawaka = mushroom
Tākawa = the berry of the kawakawa plant
(Both tasty)
I want to find the kōrero of where the name of the mushroom, but for now I’m thinking of it as the waka mushroom.
Tā-kawa means from/by kawa, the fruit of kawakawa.
#TeReoMaori
Definition of the reo Māori word, hika. It has three meanings: 1. An exclamation meaning heavens, whoa! Or similar. 2. A mate or friend, with no particular gender attached 3. The pudendum.
Aha, ok. I'm gonna have to take care when using this particular kupu....

"My reo wish is; all NZers understand Te Reo Māori is their language. It is for them to use, forever. From their children to their kuia / koroua, is it every NZer's language. Love it, use it."

Matapēhi day one:
Learnt(ing) new words for "valiant warrior," "revolt," "fight with losses on both sides," "attendant," "long wooden trumpet," and "fog," and a couple others.
The kupu, respectively: mumu, whana, haupārua, hāwini, pūkāea, kohu.
This is shaping up to be a great book.

I've recently been watching Te Kauwaka (Avatar the Last Airbender in te reo Māori).
Comprehension: 8/10. I understand most of it, but there are a few times where I don't know a word or two, or a sentence's grammar structure is a bit new for me.
Focus: 7/10. Sometimes my mind can drift, but I'm […]
Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori has begun! To celebrate we are sharing our online resources. We hope you enjoy them and find them helpful in your reo Māori journey. Kia kaha Te Reo Māori! zurl.co/4Rijk #tereomaori #tewikiotereomaori
Turns out it is available on ETV (thank you to whoever pointed me that way, apologies, I can't find that Toot now?!).
And my wānanga (Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi) provide access to that amazing resource free of charge.
They also have The Haka Party Incident, and Ka Whawhai Tonu as well […]
Another two months, another 50 hours, another learning te reo blog post!
I'm still amazed that I can watch tv or read the news in a different language, understand most of it, and learn from it. Combine that with vocab and grammar study and it's going well! […]
"He rite tonu to korero i te kupu rã. Ki taku mohio he rereke te tikanga i tau e pohehe nã." "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." INIGO MONTOYA (along with a picture of a smiling man with dark hair and a moustache.
“Kāti, kia tutuki, tāu i manako ai.” “As you wish.” WESTLEY. A blonde man with a moustache smiles at the camera.
Look what the fabulous people of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori created.😀 #princessbride #tereomaori #aotearoa

Once again, for those that haven’t seen it, if you regularly type in what I call “Mākeha” or English and #Māori mixed together, go into your iPhone Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement, and you can add shortcuts to add the macrons in common words you type like so: (see picture)

Kua tunu au i tāku parakuihi mō āpōpō. Not 100% sure on accuracy but wanted to say I've cooked my breakfast for tomorrow. The thing I'm not 100% on is the "mō." I know it as a future possessive but not sure if it can be used that way. Also not sure if I should use this hashing or not? #tereomaori
#tereoMāori, #tereoMaori, #reoMaori, #ToitūTeTiriti, he mihi manahau ki a koutou kei te hiahia te kōrero Māori i runga i a #Kikorangi #Kahurangi . He tuakiri reo rua tāku kei todtai.bsky.social
I love seeing Māori content creators using their mātauranga to teach others about Te Reo Māori respectfully, it helps those who are still on that haerenga of learning! 🔥🙌 #tereomaori #neiratekaupapa
