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

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:
Facebook - pukamata
Matatahi - selfie
Twitter - tihau
Text message - patuhi
Snapchat - Atapaki
Shopping for food, or kai, is a good way to teach your children Māori words. As you're picking items to buy you can call them by their Māori name.
