What is Te Kupu o te Wiki?
Te Kupu o te Wiki will introduce 50 new Mäori words to the nation over
50 weeks – that’s one new word a week over a year. After 50 weeks,
New Zealanders will have 50 new Mäori words in their vocab.

Join us as we introduce 50 new kupu Mäori to more than 4 million
New Zealanders – from beginners to fluent speakers.
How we’ll do it
Each week we’ll present one new Mäori word to 4 million New Zealanders
to learn and use. Write it, say it, email it, draw it – once learnt, everyone can
keep using each word.
After 12 months, these 50 new Mäori words can be used as a basis for
building Mäorilanguage skills.
What are the benefits?
Te Kupu o te Wikihelps te reo Mäori to grow in its homeland. Supporting
Te Kupu o te Wiki is good for business, it’s a talking point for customers.
Promoting te reo Mäori with tourists and visitors is a unique part of the NZ
