Today I learnt two new kupu (words), ōrite and rerekē. The word ōrite means the same,
E.g: He ōrite te kakahu kaukau o ngā tama – The boy’s togs are the same.
And the word rerekē means different,
E.g: He rerekē te tae o te makawe o Tui raua ko Zyah – Tui and Zyah have different coloured hair.
I made two recordings of sentences I made myself that include rerekē or ōrite, or comparison sentences.
What’s your favourite Maori word?
