Talk:Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara

"Whanganui-ā-Tara" in the Reed Pocket Dictionary, p 20 (along with "Poneke"). I suppose TW has a preference. Robin Patterson 06:29, 20 Pipiri 2006 (UTC)

Kāhore he tohutō ki tō te TWh paetukutuku: [1]. ("Kua hangaia te paetukutuku Kōrero Māori e Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori" [2] Kahuroa 08:00, 20 Pipiri 2006 (UTC)

Recent changes

1. Changing "awa" to "wai" looks like an unnecessary broadening of the subject; however, in the case of this city it adds only one harbour (shared with Awakairangi) unless we can find local names for numerous bays. Some Anglophiles will be tempted to add "foreign" names of bays if the Te Reo versions don't appear soon.
2. Reed Pocket Dictionary (not exhaustively authoritative) definitely has a macron for the "-a-". I'm more than happy not to have one.

Good work so far. How's Akarana coming along by comparison?

Kia ora. Robin Patterson 06:17, 18 Haratua 2006 (UTC)

1 E kore ahau e whakaae ana ki tō whakaaro - korekau he whakaroa noa i te kaupapa. He aha koe i kī pēnā ai? Ki te kore awa o te taone, ki te kore roto, pēhea ai te whakaroa noa? Pai ake pea kia whakaririkitia kētia te kaupapa? Ki tā te Māori tikanga, he mea nui kia mihia 'ngā wai e rere ana'. He āhua ngoikore hoki 'Te Awa' hei taitara - e kore e mau ki tō te Māori whakamahi i te reo. Ki tōku nei whakaaro, he pai ake kia mau ki tō te Māori titiro ki te Ao i runga i te Wikipedia Māori.

2 E ai ki tō Te Taura Whiri paetukutuku, korekau he tohutō [[3]].

3 He koretake rawa atu te tuhi pānui mō Tāmaki Makaurau. Engari, tāku nei he pai ake kia waiho taua tuhi pānui mā tētahi atu. Tāku e hiahia ana, he tuhituhi i ētahi pānui e pā ana ki ngā Māori rongonui o mua. Ā te wā koe kite ai. Kahuroa 06:41, 18 Haratua 2006 (UTC)

Mō 2 anō: Korekau hoki he tohutō i Ko Papatuanuku e Takoto Nei - Bateman New Zealand Historical Atlas he pukapuka whaimana. 09:53, 18 Haratua 2006 (UTC)

"Te"

The use of the initial "Te" in the name is almost universal. I would be quite content to see someone move the page accordingly. Robin Patterson 05:24, 24 Hōngongoi 2006 (UTC)

Tūmanako

Nō te mea kua tohua tēnei o ngā tuhipānui hei maramara, kua huri ōku whakaaro ki te kōrero mō Rātā me tana rākau. Ko te tūmanako kia waiho te maramara nei mā ngā tāngata matatau ki te reo Māori, ki tērā o ngā taonga o Aotearoa nei, e whakapai i runga i ngā tikanga whakapai, kia tupu ake hei rākau whakaruruhau, hei Tōtara, hei Kauri rānei i te wao-nui-a-Tāne. Tēnā, whakaputaina ō whakaaro ki Wikipedia:Kōrero. Nō reira, tēnā tātou katoa Kahuroa 04:31, 13 Poutū-te-rangi 2007 (UTC)
