Bilingual book brings to life the humour of te reo Māori
Te Reo Kapekape: Māori Wit and Humour by Hona Black Publishing on 1 September, a new book by scholar Hona Black lifts the curtain on all the humour, wit, innuendo and play that distinguishes everyday te reo Māori . Te Reo Kapekape (literally, ‘the language of poking fun’) will make readers cry with laughter, engage in lively banter, and perhaps blush a little.
