Our first RRR kōrero covers the functions of negating with "kāore aku", applying possesives like "māu/mōu, nōku/ōku, nāku/āku" etc, along with "a vs ā" and "ā and ō" category differentiations. Along the way we unpack the kupu and give examples of how they can and should be used in Te Reo Māori.

In this episode we have the second instalment of the Tāwhaki story, as told in a conversation between Koro and Moko.

We hassle Dr Rangi Mataamua for his thoughts on the division of time and also puts his ideas out about the practice of our Māori knowledge. Ka whakahōhā tātou i a Dr Rangi Mataamua mō ōna whakaaro o te whakawae o te wā ka mutu, ka aia atu ōna whakaaro mō te whakamahinga o ō tātou mātauranga Māori.

When does convenience affect Tikanga? Should it ever? As our fast modern times start to be blend our customs, there are sometimes cases where Tikanga is adapted for certain occasions, but it might not always be appropriate.

Our story on Tāne and his brothers continues, as he journeys to Rangiātea to retrieve the three Kete o te wānanga.

We pay tribute to one of the instigators of the elite Te Panekiretanga o Te Reo Māori programme and a giant of te reo Māori, Dr James Te Wharehuia Milroy QSO, CNZM (Ngāi Tūhoe and Ngāti Kōura), who passed away on Tuesday.
