In this episode, we explore a kōrero between two people about te pōwhiri - the pōwhiri

Episode dialogue:

Āpera:He aha ngā whakaritenga mō te pōwhiri?

Hēmi:Tuatahi, ka whakarite te hau kāinga i te marae, ā, ka tae atu te manuwhiri.

Āpera:Kātahi ka whakaeke te manuhiri ki runga i te marae, nē?

Hēmi:Āe, engari me karanga atu te hau kāinga ki te manuhiri, kātahi ka rere ngā 

karanga a ngā wāhine.

Āpera:Kia mutu ngā karanga, ka aha?

Hēmi:Ka noho te katoa. Kātahi ka tīmata ngā whaikōrero.

Āpera:Mā wai e whaikōrero? 

Hēmi:Mā ngā tāne. Mā te tangata whenua e whakatau te ope, mā te manuwhiri 

e whakahoki ngā mihi.

Āpera:I muri iho i ngā whaikōrero, ka waiata, nē?

Hēmi:Āna, ko te mahi a te waiata he tautoko i te kōrero. 

Kātahi ka harirū, arā, ka hongi, ka kihi, ka whakaratarata.

Āpera:Kātahi ka kai!

Hēmi: Koia!
