Te Reo expert Jarred Boon joins us to talk about the use of the complex particle "ai". Ka kōrerotia hoki tētahi kīwaha i kōrerotia ai e tana kuia i a rāua e tohe ana. E mārama ai ki tēnei momo pūhono me whai wheako kia rongo ai koe ki ana whakamahinga huhua. Whakarongo mai.

A muri ake i tētahi paku whakatā, ka hoki mai anō te wāhanga o Ngā Taonga. Ka hoki ki mua ki 1972 ki te Whetiwara Poronīhia tuatahi ki te whakarongo ki te āhua o te kapahaka o te wā me te kite i ngā kākano i whakatōngia i aua tau kua hua mai ai i ēnei tau. After a short hiatus, Ngā Taonga returns to our regularly scheduled programming. We go back in time to 1972 to the first Polynesian Festival to listen to the style of kapahaka of the time and to witness the seeds planted then that have since borne fruit in today.

Uia mai koia, whakahuatia ake; Ko wai te whare nei e? Ko Taringa! Welcome back to another addition of patapatai. We reflect on Mahuru Māori, look at non-binary taking on moko, what non-Māori and Māori may want to consider when it comes to pepeha and many more. Nō reira kia areare mai ō koutou taringa, kia huakina mai ō koutou ngākau hoki. Taringa Hi!

Koia tēnei ko te wahanga whakamutunga o tēnei punua raupapatanga whakahirahira ki tō tātou Pāpā a Tā Pou Temara. Kia hono tonu mai ki te ihi, te wehi me te mana o tana kōrero.

Hoki mai ano ki te wahanga tuarua o tēnei punua raupapatanga ko Te Ao o te Touhunga. Ka noho mai a Tā Pou ki tō tātou whare o Ipurau ki te kōrero tonu mai mō tana whakatupuranga me ana wheako i mātau ai ia ki ngā mahi a te tohunga.

Ahorangi Tā Pou Temara. He mōhio, he pūkenga, he ruānuku, he tā, he ahorangi - Ko ēnei tūwhai āhua katoa e hāngai pū ana ki tēnei taniwha o te ao Māori. Engari ka toko ake te pātai nā te aha i pēnei ai? Nā wai rānei i pēnei ai? Whakarongo mai ki te hautoru tuatahi o tēnei punua raupapatanga e kīia nei Te Ao o te Tohunga.

He tapu te parapara? He aha i tapu ai? Me pēhea e porowhiu atu? Is waste/trash sacred? If so, why? How is it to be disposed of?

In the first week of Mahuru Māori, the Taringa trio ponders these questions in consideration of such practices as tā moko, tangihanga and humuhumu (amputation) with the remnants and their disposal in mind.

What is a hapa? What is a whati? What are they in the context of te reo Māori and tikanga Māori? What are the underpinning principles that make them Māori concepts? Why can I say "KAITOA!" when I'm relieved or satisfied with something?

As we face new and uncharted waters, so too does te reo Māori. What kupu do we use for certain terms like hand sanitiser? Pandemic? Social distancing? Ka āta wānangahia te tokotoru o Taringa atu i tō rātou ake 'kāhui rāhui' mō tēnei kaupapa.
