Proverbs
from Whakamāori Hosted by RNZ
The team translate some of the world's most recognisable proverbs: phrases passed down through generations, across cultures and continents. In this episode of Whakamāori, the team—Chey Milne, Tākuta Anaha Hiini, & Tamati Waaka—translate some of the world's most recognisable proverbs: phrases passed down through generations, across cultures and continents. From "what goes around comes around" to "every cloud has a silver lining," these sayings carry life lessons, warnings, and words of encouragement—often wrapped in metaphor. The panel explores how these ideas can be expressed in te reo Māori, and what shifts when we bring them into our own cultural and linguistic lens. Whether you're learning new kupu or just love the art of a god whakataukī, this episode if all about finding the meaning between the lines. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details
