This Māori dictionary comprises a selection of modern and everyday language useful for learners of Māori. It has a broader scope than traditional Māori dictionaries, so as well as the words one would usually expect in a dictionary, it also includes:
These have all been included because they are important in communicating in a Māori context, and contribute to understanding and speaking the language in a natural way.
While this dictionary is designed to stand alone, it not only includes all the words used in the Te Whanake series of narrative texts and resources, but is indexed to the Te Whanake series, thus giving quick access to topics, maps, illustrations, idioms, colloquialisms, proverbs, tribal sayings, grammar and usage explanations.
