Ka whakamahia ngā whakataukī i ngā whaikōrero ōkawa me ngā whakawhitinga kōrero o ia rā. Tirohia ngā whakataukī e hānagai ana ki te aroha me te whakahuatanga o ētahi o ngā whakataukī rongonui. 

Whakataukī (Māori proverbs) are often used in both formal speeches and everyday conversation. These whakataukī are about aroha (love).

E iti noa ana nā te aroha          A small thing given with love

Aroha mai, aroha atu               Love received demands love returned

Ko Hinemoa, ko au                  I am like Hinemoa, I'd risk all for love

Te Kuku o te manawa              The pincers of the heart 

Me te wai korari                        As sweet as honey 

He iti kahurangi                        A small treasure
