Ko te mahi a te tangata whāngai kupu, he hoatu i ngā kupu ki ngā kiriwhakaari ina wareware i a rātou. Ka noho huna te kaiwhāngai kupu ki te taha o te atamira kia kore ai e kitea e te hunga mātakitaki.
The job of a prompt is to remind the actors of their words when they forget their lines. The prompt is hidden from the audience at the side of the stage.
Ka tohua ko Ati hei kaiwhāngai kupu mō te whakaari.
Ka ora te whakaaturanga i te mahi whāngai kupu a Ati.
Ina wareware i a koe ō kōrero, ka wawe te whāngai kupu a Ati hei whakamaumahara i a koe.
