Week 6 Term 1: "kaupapa" (topic)

kaupapa (pronounced "koe" as in toe - "papa" as in papa)

It means topic, policy, matter for discussion, plan, scheme, proposal, agenda, subject, programme, theme.

So you could say:

• "the kaupapa for today's hui is student achievement"
• "Is your kōrero about today's kaupapa? No? Didn't think so. You should fix that"
• Specially for Judi Lawrence: "write down as many different pātai about today's kaupapa as you can in fifteen minutes"
