Kia ora whanau
I have been super busy learning new things in te reo this week. How are you going? I figured today I will add in a whakatauki, this was the only one I could think of. It can be used in ways other than kai.
Nau te rourou, naku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi.
With your basket, and my basket, the people shall thrive.
I also thought you could add some labels around your wharekai to aid you in your learning.
Microwave - Ngaru iti
Fridge - Pouaka makariri
Kettle/Jug - Tiikera
Oven - Umu
Stove - To
