--- • Welcome to Meri Kirihimete! Meri Kirihimete is Maori for Merry Christmas. Since New Zealand is the first country to celebrate Christmas I thought of telling you a bit about Kiwi culture. • Learn a bit about Maori greetings, how Kiwis celebrate Christmas in Summer and what people in New Zealand usually do on Christmas Day. • SORRY one fact is wrong in my video: New Zealand was discovered by Abel Tasman in 1642; and the first Christmas in New Zealand was celebrated in 1642 and NOT in 1692... Sorry, my bad! :( • Further reading: • http://www.maorilanguage.net/maori-wo... • https://www.whychristmas.com/cultures... • https://nzhistory.govt.nz/media/photo... • • You might ask: What's the connection between counselling and words? I think and believe there is a strong connection. • Other cultures have a lot of wisdom, and of course, problems too. I believe words can express quite exactly feelings and thoughts, worries and joys. Sometimes our languages are missing something that in other languages is described very accurately. So, why don't we enrich our languages with words or phrases from other cultures? • While working on my videos I learned many new fascinating words that are absolutely worth being included in our dictionaries. • My explanations only can give a short overview about the above word or phrase. If you are interested and keen on knowing more, click on the provided links or just go ahead and explore and discover more yourself. • If you ever find a new word, you think is wonderful, let me know please! • Thank you! • Channel icon by Elsa Lotz • Music: We Wish You A Merry Christmas (Instrumental), Jingle Punks - YouTube Audio Library • I created this video with iMovie. • ----
