He Pātaka Kupu - te kai a te rangatira is the first monolingual Māori language dictionary to be produced for adults. It has been prepared by leading Māori language scholars and linguists over several years, and describes the Māori language in its own culturally authentic terms. With approximately 24,000 entries, it provides a rich Māori language resource for proficient speakers and learners alike.

Ko He Pātaka Kupu - te kai a te rangatira, koia ko te papakupu reo Māori tuatahi i whakaputaina ki te reo kotahi mō te hunga pakeke. He mea whakarite mai te papakupu nei e ngā tohunga o te reo Māori i roto i ngā tau maha, ā, ka riro māna e whakamārama te reo Māori ki tōna ake reo me ōna ake pūtake. He maha ke atu i te 24,000 ngā kupu ka whakamāramahia, otirā, kāhore he rauemi i kō atu i tēnei mō te hunga matatau, mō te akonga hoki.  (Te Puni Kōkiri)
