Ko ngā whakataukī me ngā whakatauākī
Ko ngā whakataukī me ngā whakatauākī
Me mōhio koe he aha ēnei mea e rua, arā, ko ngā tūmomo kōrero hei whakakīnaki i āu kōrero. I ētehi wā he kōrero poto, he kōrero roa, he kōrero hōhonu e hāngai ana ki te taiao, ki te tangata rānei. Ahakoa he āhua ōrite ngā mea e rua, he rerekētanga i waenganui i a rāua. Ko te whakataukī te kōrero kāore koe e mōhio ana nā wai tērā kōrero i kōrero, i hea e kōrerotia ana ki a wai, mō, te aha hoki te kaupapa. Engari, e mōhiotia ana te whakatauākī, nā wai taua kōrero, i hea e kōrerotia ana, ki a wai te kōrero.
Mō te roanga ake, tirohia te pukapuka Te Kōhure i ngā whārangi 38-39.
Ka kite koe i ētehi whakatauākī me ētehi whakataukī kei runga. Kei raro ngā whakamārama i roto i te reo Māori. Me tō e koe te whakamārama ki te whakataukī, i te whakatauākī rānei, e tika ana.
Don’t forget to use commas, question marks, and fullstops and macrons where appropriate (ā,ē,ī,ō, and ū).
