Dictionaries and Language

Te aka Māori dictionary

Te Aka Māori Dictionary is quite comprehensive for both Māori to English and vice-versa. Most words have audio, so you can hear the pronunciation from a native speaker. I find searching an English word doesn’t always give clear results. Often the most common word is not the first entry, which can be confusing.

Paekupu - Dictionary

Paekupu is an alternative to Te Aka. It also has audio and categorises words by area of knowledge. It’s great for technical words and tends to be clearer with its meanings, but it is not as comprehensive as Te Aka (yet).

Kupu - word of the day and some grammar

https://kupu.maori.nz/ has a featured word of the day, lists of words, and grammar. I like the “kupu o te rā” (word of the day) which includes simple example phrases, and notes about the grammar and usage. There’s lots of good content around basic sentence structure as well.
