accidentally creates new Māori idiom
International pop star Rita Ora may have inadvertently created a new kīwaha or Māori saying/idiom after accidentally mispronouncing a Māori phrase in a recent UK radio interview.
The British singer who is in a widely publicised relationship with acclaimed Māori film maker and actor Taika Waititi, explained in the interview with BBC 1 that she has been learning Māori words from her partner and said she plans to include a Māori phrase in the lyrics of a new song.
