Patapatai

E ngā taringa areare o te motu tēnā huri mai anō ki ngā patapatai o te wā. This week we answer your questions; koha, merchandising of kōrero tuku iho and the aversion Paraone has for reptilian footwear.

In this final instalment of Patapatai for 2023, Snowy and Erica discuss the use of waiata Māori in different contexts, the pursuit of knowledge and truth through a traditional Māori lens, and the application of cultural safety in the workplace.

In this episode, the Taringa crew tackle a few audience Pātai. What is the difference between Mauri and Wairua? What does "makau" mean, and how is it used? There is also a discussion about pepeha.

We welcome the lovely Erica back to the Taringa studios for Q&A with the esteemed Paraone Gloyne. Paraone shares stories about his upbringing, significant memories and influencial people along his journey.

In this episode, Paraone and Kahurangi tackle a few more interesting questions. Which apps do people use when learning a new language? How does one find one's place within te ao Māori? Does there need to be a karakia at the beginning of every hui?

Erica is leaving the Taringa crew for a while, so this episode is all about her time on Taringa. We also welcome our new host - Kahurangi Maxwell nō Te Arawa. We have some fun while acknowledging Erica's contribution to Taringa; looking back at her first episodes, how the term "whana way of saying something" was coined, and also firing questions at her - te patapātai ki a Erica.

While Paraone is still away in Austria, Snowy and Erica answer more questions from you, e Ngai Taringa. They discuss favourite kaimoana, give some advice on using intructional Reo in the house. They also have a brief look at the kupu "hei", using numbers in a listing format and share some thoughts on non-Māori teaching te reo Māori.

The Taringa team answer more pātai from you, our audience. These pātai turn into mini wānanga about some favourite kupu whakarite, whether or not a marae should be built in Australia and government agencies using waiata iwi for waiata tautoko.

In this episode, Paraone and Erica tackle the challenge of answering a few audience questions, with only 2 minutes per pātai!

Ka āta wetewete te tokotoru o Taringa i ngā pātai ka tukuna mai e koutou. Kia piri mai ki tēnei puni kia rongo ai, kia wānanga ai hoki i ngā kōrero ka puta. The Taringa trio unpack the queries sent in by you. Join us to hear and deliberate on the conversation that eventuates.
