348324 2006-09-17 22:38:00 hey can any one translate this whakatauki. it is: he aha ta te tangata i whakakare ai, mehemea kaore raatou e whakakare ana i o raatou hoa?
(im double voweling for macrons.)
i know it means something like what can you be proud of if you are not proud of your friends. am i right?

I'm learning a bit each day. My memory ain't what it used to be though so i'm forgetting as fast as i'm learning:D

348327 2006-09-18 09:23:00 Kai moana means shellfish (kai =food).
The 3 others are specific shellfish, paua are known elsewhere as abalone...come on kiwis, what are the other 2....and I'm a Welshman only been here for 3 years...lol

348328 2006-09-18 11:47:00 "The other 2" were well described in John H's post (plus paua) if you scroll far enough up & read the whole thread. Laura (43)
348329 2006-09-19 11:13:00 Something weird has happened in this thread, I'll swear I read through all the posts yesterday and didn't see those earlier ones answering the Qs about shellfish.
But why was it resurrected from last year anyway?
