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. You can find me here: https://patreon.com/amaoripodcast

Po rua - One way to count the passage of time

Kia ora ra e te iwi whanui!

This week I came across a new way to speak on the passing of time. Hopefully you find this insightful.

Po rua a Tukutuku e whakatata ana ki a Paoa, kihai i tata. - For two nights Tukutuku was trying to get near to Paoa, but did not succeed.

[First Lessons in Maori, pg. 39, W.L. William]

Po whitu ki te moana ka whiti ki Hawaiki. - We'll be at sea for 7 nights until we reach Hawaiki.

[A Dictionary of the Maori Language, pg 285, H.W. Williams]
