pn795. Lorde sings and Dan Corbett gives the weather forecast in Te Reo

There will be some who say we're getting an overdose of Te Reo at present but it is Māori  Language Week.  While Morgan Godrey welcomes  more Pakēhā speaking Te Reo, saying more Non-Māori must speak Māori for it to survive, singer Lorde has released an album in Te Reo with earnings going to charities, and TVNZ's   Dan Corbett presented special weather bulletins in Te Reo.  He does a good job and will be forgiven if he corrects calling Hokitika Hokatiki most other days.

Here's a piece from his link:

Now the weather across most of Aotearoa is going to be a bit lousy on Thursday so it's not too hard to follow some of the phrases Corbett used.

Te huarere mō āpōpō - tomorrow's weather

He ua - rain

He whaitiri- lightning/thunder

He hau kaha - strong winds

I te ata - in the morning

I te ahiahi - in the afternoon

And what was that Simon said as Dan handed back to him?

Koia kei a koe! Well done!
