In many parts of New Zealand the hongi is a pretty normal greeting,
between friends on the streets, family members or team mates after a
big game, filling the same function as a handshake. But the gesture
also has solemn and spiritual roots, useful on the marae and in the
home. A distinctively kiwi greeting. Have you experienced a hongi?
Where was that? The big question though, with wiki o te reo Māori
coming up, would you use the hongi in your everyday life, making it
the standard greeting in your area? ** We may wish to use your comments in print. Please indicate if you're not comfortable with your words appearing the paper by including NFP at the end of your comment. Thank you. **
