Magnificent Maori

Kia Ora! Today, we will talk about Māori. Our goal is to make Māori conversations with each other. I have made a slideshow of a Māori conversation. It uses words like Ika (Fish), Awa (river), and other words. I have learnt lots of new words, and I hope you will learn some stuff, too. 


Ko wai tō ingoa? = What is your name?
Ko ___ Tōku ingoa = My name is ____
Awa = river
Nō hea koe? = where are you from?
No Ōtautahi ahau = I am from Christchurch
Tāonga = treasure
Maunga = mountain
Ika = Fish
kia ora = goodbye!

Are YOU from Otautahi?
What is your favourite Mounga?
What is Your favourite Awa?
What is your Taonga?

Kia Ora!

    this Is fantastic work. I loved How you included your Maori name and the slides were really good, maybe next time include a question to get a conversation going.

    keep the fantastic work up!

      I tried my best with the questions. my questions are:

      Are YOU from Otautahi?
      What is your favourite Mounga?
      What is Your favourite Awa?
      What is your Taonga?

      Maybe you can answer them.

  2. Kia ora Izzy - it is great that you are learning and using new kupu. You are already bilingual 9know two languages) and now you are on your way to learn your third! Do you like learning languages?
