The Stratford Press supports Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori - the Māori Language 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 nēhi - nurse.
Mai i tōku tamarikitanga pīrangi ai au ki te mahi hei nēhi. - Since childhood, I have always wanted to work as a nurse.
