Te Aka : Maori-English, English-Maori dictionary and index (Te Whanake) (2nd revised edition 2005)
Description
This dictionary and index comprises a selection of modern and everyday language that will be extremely useful for learners of the Mäori language. It has a broader scope than traditional dictionaries, so as well as the words one would usually expect in a dictionary, it also includes: encyclopaedic entries designed to provide key information about plants, animals (including fish and insects), stars, planets, heavenly bodies, important Mäori people, key ancestors of traditional narratives, tribal groups, ancestral canoes, song types, traditional musical instruments, Mäori names for institutions, country names, place names and other proper names explanations of key concepts central to Mäori culture comprehensive explanations for grammatical items, with examples of usage idioms and colloquialisms with their meanings and examples. These have all been included because they are important in communicating in a Mäori context, and contribute to understanding and speaking the language in a natural way. While this dictionary is designed to stand alone, it not only contains 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.
