意味（1）

(New Zealand) A Māori tradition of reciprocal giving of gifts.

Koha are commonly given at the conclusion of a powhiri (a Maori welcome onto a marae (meeting place)). [Mary Anne] Salmond explains that great pride is taken in being able to present a generous gift to the hosts. Koha that are given at the conclusion of a powhiri are not payments for goods or services.

意味（2）

(New Zealand, by extension) A voluntary donation given for a service that has been provided.

There was considerable opposition to any advance for this mill being charged as against Koha. […] In respect to the Turakirae Block, Manihera and Wi Kingi claimed Koha for Taita, Mangaroa, and Pakuratahi, stating that the purchase extended over those lands, and even to the source of a stream falling to the West Coast.]
