Title: He Iti Te Kupu – Nga Huahuatau Me Nga Kupu Whakarite
Author: BLACK HONA

He Iti te Kupu contains nearly 500 sayings that draw a comparison between something (often the natural world) and people, events or contexts. This accessible guide explains the use, meaning and context of a host of the principal figures of speech in te Reo. Divided into themes, including birds of the land and sea, parts of the body, acknowledgements, animals and insects. The title derives from the proverb, ‘The words are small, yet their meanings are substantial,’ highlighting the importance of these sayings in the landscape of Maori language learning and speaking. Originally published in Maori and English in 2021, this Maori-only edition serves readers who don’t require the support of English.
