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 Pipiri — June.
Ia Pipiri, tīmata ai te hukapapa — Every June, the frosts usually start.
Another name for June is Hune.
