    He aha te Ariki? He aha oti te whare Ariki? What is an ariki what is a whare ariki? How did our tūpuna deem a bloodline to be aristocratic house of their hapū, iwi or waka? The trio delve into some of the examples left in our histories and how it informs some of the remaining whare ariki of today. The team are surprised with special gifts from one of their listeners. They also throw lemons to juice up the kōrero. Areare mai rā!

  • Taringa - Ep 349 - Kupu, Kupu, Kupu - He tohatoha reo
    Jul 25 2025

    Kia ora e te whānau! We’re back from all over the motu — and diving straight into the kōrero with a smorgasbord of reo treats and whakaaro. This week, we kick off with a juicy kīwaha that sparks a kōrero about where you're really from. We untangle the tongue-twister that is “diphthong”, then look at how to pronounce reo Māori diphthongs properly. Paraone shares some classic kōrero tuku iho from the kuia of his youth, amongst other discussions around ‘panoni’, ‘kawemate’ and ‘harimate’, to name a few. Whakarongo mai — it’s a hearty hākari of te reo, tikanga and kōrero o nehe!
