| Brief Description: | He Kohinga Kiwaha is a comprehensive, fun guide to modern Maori idioms. Designed for the intermediate to advanced speaker of te reo Maori, the book is unique in being totally in Maori – so that examples and explanatory text are all in the language.
Each of the ten chapters introduces idioms that are used for specific situations – at work, in different social situations, among friends and family ? with separate sections on different language constructions. Examples are given using two characters, Pare and Rangi, who also feature in the amusing illustrations that run throughout the book. |
