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 Māori word to learn each week.
This week’s word is: whiti(a) - shine.
Kei te whiti te rā. - The sun is shining.
Haria ngā kākahu ki waho kia whitia ai e te rā. - Take the clothes outside so that they can be shone on by the sun.
