Kupu Takutai - Coastal Terms Infographics
Te Hunga Takutai o Aotearoa (New Zealand Coastal Society) enjoy celebrating Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori Aotearoa (Māori Language Week in New Zealand)! We have produced toru (3) posters to encourage the use of te reo Māori in coastal mahi (work) and everyday lives.
We acknowledge there may be additional alternative te reo Māori translations for some of the coastal terms used in this poster and many kupu have a deeper meaning. For example tātahi is beach from the inland perspective looking out to sea. Some alternative kupu for beach are tuaone, one, tahamoana (seaside) and uta (beach from the sea perspective heading to the shore).
