Te Wiki o te Reo Māori

This week is Māori language week (te wiki o te reo Māori). 

The key message for this year is:

ākina te reo!  Give te reo Māori a go!

Here are some phrases you might like to try at home:

1. Tino pai te rangi, nē rā? (Lovely day, isn’t it?)
2. Haere mai ki konei (Come over here)
3. Tēnā homai he kaputi (Please give me a cup of tea)
4. I pēhea tāu kai?(What was your food like?)
5. Kei te pēhea koe? (How are you?)
6. Māku e āwhina (I will help)
7. Kei te aroha au ki a koe (I love you!)
8. He aha māu? (What would you like?)
9. Mā mātou e horoi ngā rīhi (We’ll wash the dishes)
10. Horoia ō ringaringa (Wash your hands)
