Ko te Rāapa tēnei rāngi - it's Wednesday, the third day of Te Wiki o te reo Māori. RNZ's Māori Issues correspondent Mihingarangi Forbes is answering listeners' Te Reo Māori questions on Morning Report each day during Māori Language Week.
Today she used the royal family to give a lesson on how to speak about whānau, or family.
