Description
He Kete Kīwaha—a practical guide to Māori idioms (Oratia Books)
Idioms—the everyday turns of phrase that give a language its character—are a key part of speaking fluently, and te reo Māori is rich in them.
Professor, teacher, and language advocate Hona Black, has drawn on extensive research and consultation with some of Aotearoa’s leading te reo experts, including Sir Tīmoti Kāretu, Te Haumihiata Mason, and Hēni Jacob, to put together this comprehensive guide to kīwaha.
Professor Black, Oratia Press, and Te Kawa a Māui are delighted to invite you to the launch of He Kete Kīwaha. Unity Books will be available on the night to sell you a copy of the new book.
At the launch, Professor Black will explain some of the research that went into this book, and invite audience members to recall and share the kīwaha that enrich their lives. Attendees will then be invited to share kai.
