Anei te kupu o te wiki: Tari.
Here is the word of the week: Tari (Office/department)
You can use it as :
I am going to the Tari
Her Tari is tidy
Te Tari o Putaiao - The Science Department/Office.
Maori language week is Monday 1 – Sunday 7 July, week 9 this term and the theme this year is Ngā Ingoa Māori/Māori names. We are trying to use as many names of places around school as we can.
Feel free to kōrero to myself, Terri-Leigh, Stephen or Alisha about these
kupu hou/new words. Maori is our 2nd official language since 1987 and its one of the things that is unique about NZ so I encourage you to use it.

Interesting fact, courtesy of He Kupu O Te Ra on Facebook:
ReplyDeleteDid you know that Te Tari Taake (Inland Revenue) should actually be written as Te Tari Tāke (with a macron)? Legend has it they requested to have it changed because: Te = the, Tari = office, Tāke = tax, but also looks like the English word 'take'. People out there were calling it the "The take office". The double vowel rids them of the bullies.
