Te Reo Kapekape: Māori Wit and Humour

Hona Black

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot: Audiobook:

Following the success of his first book with Oratia, He Iti te Kupu (February 2021), te reo Māori scholar Hona Black provides a further valuable resource for speakers of te reo Māori and English, with this bilingual book celebrating what he calls ‘tongue-in-cheek te reo’. Collecting a range of Māori ways of describing actions, events and people, it provides colourful and humorous sayings that people can easily use in either te reo or English contexts, and suggests ways to alter them to meet different needs and contexts. Appealing to both confident speakers and those just starting out, Te Reo Kapekape adds a fun element to the reader's knowledge of te reo Māori.
