I roto i tēnei kōrero, ko te kaupapa o te hui te whakatika i te wharekai, ā, e karanga ana te kuia kia hui tahi te iwi katoa. Kāore te whakataukī nei e kōrero ana mō te ahi tonu, engari he kupu whakarite mō te mahi ngātahi.

Kāore he whakapae, he pātai, he poroporoaki rānei i roto i te rerenga kōrero; ko te whakamihi anake te wairua o te kī.

Question 3Whakarongo (listening and comprehension)

Kei te whakarongo koe ki tētahi kaikōrero i te hui ā-whānau: "Ka nui taku mihi ki a koutou i tae mai ki te whakapai i te marae. Ko ētahi, kāore pea i te mōhio ki te wā o te mahi - engari kāore au e kōrero mō tēnā ināianei." He aha te tikanga o te rārangi whakamutunga?

Mā tēnei e whakamana ai ngā tūpuna me ngā mate o te wā. Ko te "moenga roa" he kupu whakarite mō te mate tonu, ā, mā te mihi tuatahi ki a rātou e tika ai te whakatakoto o te kōrero.

Nō reira, ko te kī "he tōtara haemata" e whakaatu ana i te kuia rā he pou whirinaki, he kaitiaki hoki mō tōna whānau me tōna iwi.
