Faking it! - Ata

from A Maori Podcast Hosted by Ihira

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/amaoripodcast 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]
