About this app
Developer Description
Te Aka is a Māori language dictionary that is easy to use.
As well as English meanings, it has example sentences with translations for many entries. It even has photographs and audio clips for Aotearoa/New Zealand native fauna and photographs of flora, important people and other items where a photograph will aid understanding.
In addition to the words one would expect in a traditional dictionary, it also has encyclopaedic entries designed to provide key information about plants, animals, stars, planets, heavenly bodies, important Māori people, key ancestors of traditional narratives, tribal groups, ancestral canoes, song types, musical instruments, Māori names for institutions, country names, place names and other proper names. There are also detailed explanations of key concepts central to Māori culture. Comprehensive explanations for grammatical items are included, with examples of usage, as are idioms and colloquialisms with their meanings and examples.
The Te Aka Maori app is the companion to the popular www.maoridictionary.co.nz website and forms part of the Te Whanake Māori Language learning series.

Very handy app that I use everyday. A "word of the day" feature would be great! To learn a new word each day is handy in any language. Comment edit: It's 2024, and I would still love a kupu o te ra (word of the day) widget/ notification. That'd definitely be something people would love to wake up to.

I love this app but the recent update has disabled the offline search function that I paid for in the previous version of the app! I found the offline function incredibly useful. I think it would be very useful to include "o" and "a" category information for different nouns, as it is very important to know this in order to use them correctly in sentences.

Well I wanted ask for the Maori translation of thank you (and I included Nga mihi) to you both. I didn't want to use kia ora. Got nothing. Very sad for those of us that are trying to learn. And it not as if I asked for 'tell me your philosophy of...a complex sentence. Nga mihi Huri

Love this app but for some reason it won't let me use the audio function, it use but now all of a sudden it won't let me. For someone like me I need to be able to hear it as well as read it.

Thank you for your speedy reply to my difficulty with the 2 search buttons on the actual app not working. I did as you asked and used the search button on my keyboard and everything works. This app prior to change was always a great help with my learning, let's hope the new version is even better. Thank you for your help.
