Guyon gets grilled on his te reo skills

Ko te rā mutunga tenei o te wiki. Ko Rāmere - It's Friday today, the end of the week.

Today Te Manu Korihi editor Shannon Haunui-Thompson tested Morning Report host Guyon Espiner on what he had learned during Māori Language Week.

Guyon did well, remembering all the days of the week and his daughter's favourite colour, waiporoporo or purple, and his wife's favourite colour, pango or black.

Here's a recap of some of the reo we've learned this week and some new ones to practise over the weekend.

First, the days of the week:

Monday - Rāhina

Tuesday - Rātu

Wednesday - Rāapa

Thursday - Rāpare

Friday - Rāmere

Saturday - Rāhoroi

Sunday - Rātapu

Here are a few encouraging phrases you can use this weekend to support your sport team:

Karawhiua! - Give it heaps!

Kia manawanui - Hang in there

Kua piro! - It's a try/goal

Kia kaha e hoa ma! - Let's go team

Try using your reo to talk about social media:
