Hangman Game Feedback
| Title: | This means: birth and family
|
| Answer: | whanau
|
| Hints: | 1. This word is commonly mispronounced by Pakeha people in Aotearoa
2. There is a tohuto (macron) above the first 'a' 3. Correct pronunciation sounds like: 'far' 'no' |
| Equivalents: | 1. whanau whanui (extended family)
|
| Explanation: | Whanau is perhaps one of the most commonly used Maori words in Aotearoa New Zealand. It has been adopted by Pakeha (non-Maori) people as part of everyday vocabulary to mean 'family'. Despite this, it is still widely mis-pronounced (as 'far' 'now') and the second meaning of the word (birth) is largely not known.
