He whakangā

A friend said today: If you’re feeling a little tired, a little stretched, a little less onto it than normal; cut yourself some slack and take a break.

In the spirit of rest, I’ll keep it brief: Here’s three kupu I use for resting.

okioki

(verb) to rest, pause.

whakatā

 (verb) (-ngia) to take breath, catch breath, rest, relax, have a break.

whakangā

(verb) to take breath, inhale, catch breath, rest, refresh, relax.
