Anyway maori and british men and women never got along because of language differences but eventually made a treaty of waitangi to make rights towards maori and british people.
Now the Maori are very outnumbered by different cultures from around the world.
but people are still skeen to learn some maori or a lot of maori now and then.
here the are phrases.
Nau mai ki Aotearoa is a welcoming phrase which means "Welcome to Aotearoa"
____ is my name is an introduction/greeting phrase that includes your name meaning Ko Paris toku ingoa in maori.
What is your name? this phrase is translate to He Aha to ingoa in maori
He pai taku ki te takaro i te whutupaoro, this is translated to I like to play rugby in english.
- Where do you come from? is translated to no hea koe? in maori.
I have tried my best to translate them all.
Hi Paris,
ReplyDeleteRuby here from the Summer Learning Journey team!
Well done! You have done a great job on this activity. Did you use Google Translate when you were translating?
Could you tell me something you like to do in Maori? For example, I like to play the piano. In Maori this is: E Pai taku ki te takaro i te piana.
I look forward to reading more of your blog.
Cheers,
Ruby.
