The Stratford Press supports Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori — the Māori Language Commission Commission’s campaign to increase New Zealanders’ te reo Māori vocabulary by running a different Māori word to learn each week.
This week’s word is pouaka makariri - fridge.
Ka haere au ki te tiki miraka i te pouaka makariri. - I will go and fetch the milk from the fridge.
