Taringa Podcast

Ka hono mai anō tō tātou ake kaiako a MC Grammar ki te whakataka i ētahi anō kura o ngā kupu pūmuri. Hei tēnei wiki ka matapakihia ngā kupu 'anō' me 'rānei' me ana āheinga katoa. Our very own tutor MC Grammar joins us again to drop some more gems on postposed particles. This week we discuss the words "anō" and 'rānei' and a few of their functions.

Kei...ana = Whilst. Ka...ana = Whenever. Kia...ana = to be left as is. Are you intrigued or confused yet? Jarred Boon AKA MC Grammar will be dorpping bars on these constructs giving us more way's to express ourselves in everyday te reo Māori contexts. Kia areare mai nei e tai mā.

Pūmuri = Postposed particles. Pū Tohu = Manner Particles. Tonu = a manner particle. Intrigued yet? Listen to this ep to find out the many uses of tonu with our in lingustic luminary Jarred Boon aka MC Grammar.

This week we welcome Rutene Gabel to discuss Ngāti Kahu. Whakaronga mai!

He ahe koe i kore ai e kai? He aha ia e kore nei e kai? He aha au e kore ai e kai? Hei tukatuka ake anō i te tau hōu mahi ka kotahi atu tātou ki te Kupu Kupu Kupu me tō tātou mātanga reo ara ko Jared Boon me kī ko Mc Grammar. Ka āta matapakihia e mātou ngā rerenga kua whakahuatia ake i mua nā. Why didn't you eat? Why isn't he eating? Why won't I eat? To kickoff the working year we head straight into Kupu Kupu Kupu with linguistic expert Jarred Boon, AKA "MC Grammar",  taking a close look at the aforementioned structures.

Jarred Boon (aka MC Grammar) is back for another schooling session on "ai". We review instances covered in Ep 214, (habitual action, dependent actions, subsequent action clauses), and go in depth on using the particle "ai" in a range of questioning contexts.

Te Reo expert Jarred Boon joins us to talk about the use of the complex particle "ai". Ka kōrerotia hoki tētahi kīwaha i kōrerotia ai e tana kuia i a rāua e tohe ana. E mārama ai ki tēnei momo pūhono me whai wheako kia rongo ai koe ki ana whakamahinga huhua. Whakarongo mai.

As we face new and uncharted waters, so too does te reo Māori. What kupu do we use for certain terms like hand sanitiser? Pandemic? Social distancing? Ka āta wānangahia te tokotoru o Taringa atu i tō rātou ake 'kāhui rāhui' mō tēnei kaupapa.

This week's episode explores the use of the prefix "whaka".

Ko hea tēnei wāhi? In this Kupu,Kupu,Kupu episode we discuss place names and the language associated with them.

We speak with Te Korou from Te Wharekura o Hoani Waititi who let's us in on the way our rangatahi are coming up with their own kīwaha. We also look at the development of te reo Māori as it progresses into the 21st century. Ka hūiki tō tātou tīma Taringa i runga i te māramatanga ehara rātou i te hunga taiohi ināianei.

What's in a name? The Taringa trio look at the thoughts and considerations that are or should be taken when naming such things as whare (marae and contemporary buildings), taonga (heirlooms, objects) and kaupapa (initiatives, companies). Keep an ear out also for our kīwaha that denotes a period since something has happened.

Paraone and Snowy discuss the use of mihi in various contexts, looking at questions like: "What are the mainstays?" and, "What gets over-used" etc.

Te Puaheiri and Erica discuss the meaning, use and origin of Te Reo o te kohukohu, or "cuss words", with a few examples thrown in along the way.

Back into the archives we go - listening to some examples of Pōkeka and Kaioraora - chants and songs of derision, hatred, cursing and conflict.
