In this episode, we explore a kōrero between two people about hongi - pressing noses in greeting.

Episode dialogue:

Āpera: He aha tātou e hongi ai ka tūtaki ana tātou ki a tātou?

Hēmi: E whakautu ai au i tēnā pātai, me hoki ō tāua whakaaro ki a Tāne rāua ko Hineahuone.

Āpera: Ko Tāne te atua nāna a Hineahuone i hanga, nē?

Hēmi: Āna, i te kimi a Tāne i te uwha, nā konā ia i hanga ai i a Hineahuone.

Āpera: Ko ia te wahine tuatahi? 

Hēmi: Koia, ā, ka mutu tā Tāne hanga i a Hineahuone, ka pā tōna ihu ki tō Hineahuone.

Āpera: Ā, ka hongi rāua.

Hēmi: Āe, me te aha, ka tihe, kātahi ka ora mai a Hineahuone. Mai i tērā wā, ā mohoa nei, ka hongi tātou ka tūtaki ana tātou ki a tātou.
