Description:

MāoriDictionary Online T n koe. Nau mai ki Te Aka. Welcome to the online version of Te Aka M ori-English, English-M ori Dictionary and Index. This online M ori dictionary is aimed at providing quick access but it is recommended that you also purchase the hard copy for use in class and when you are not online. As well as the words one would expect in a traditional dictionary, Te Aka has encyclopaedic entries including the names of plants and animals (especially native and endemic species), stars, planets and heavenly bodies, important M ori people, key ancestors of traditional narratives, tribal groups and ancestral canoes. M ori names for institutions, country names, place names and other proper names are also provided. There are also explanations of key concepts central to M ori culture. Comprehensive explanations for grammatical items are included, with examples of usage, as are idioms and colloquialisms with their meanings and examples. These have all been included because they are important in communicating in a M ori context, and contribute to understanding and speaking the language in a natural way. Many of the separate meanings of each headword now have example sentences with translations. This dictionary is indexed to the Te Whanake M ori language series of narrative texts and resources, giving you quick access to topics, grammatical and usage explanations, idioms and colloquialisms, maps and illustrations. Tēnā koutou users of Te Aka Thank you for completing our pop-up survey in 2015. We received approximately 18 thousand responses from over a million unique users during the survey period. The results tell us that for many learners and speakers of Māori, Te Aka serves a much greater function than to just look up the meaning of Māori words, or to find equivalents of a word. A study from the survey will be made available through the Te Ipukarea website in 2017 (see www.teipukarea.maori.nz ). Thank you again for completing our survey and for using Te Aka.
