Here is a whakatauki or proverb to leave you with...

He kai kei aku ringa.

There is food at the end of my hands.

-Said by a person who can use their basic abilities and resources to create success.

 

Kupu o te wiki tuawha: Neke

Neke- move.

Here are some examples:

Neke mai- Move here (toward speaker)
Neke atu- Move (over) here (away from the speaker)

You can use this to move those "work" challenged pupils who are being hoha (silly)

Haere tonu te mahi, tata mutu ne!  (Carry on with the work, neary finished aye!)

Aidan

Kupu o te wiki tuarua: Kaua

Kaua- don't.  Used with "e" before the action

Here are some examples:

Kaua e karanga- don't call out
Kaua e tutu- don't fiddle
Kaua e korero- don't talk

Extension- Kaua e korero pena- don't talk (like) that

Kia kaha i roto i te reo Maori!- Be strong in the Maori Language!

Na Aidan

Te Wahanga Tuawhā-Term 4

 

Congratulations on your graduation of Māori 101 and welcome to Māori 101.2.This terms focus will be on simple instructional sentence starters.

 

So here is an encouragement for you

Kupu o te wiki tuatahi:

Me-should

"Me" is used at the beginning of a sentence and is followed by a verb. You don't need to include pronouns such as you etc if it is implied in the conversation.

Here are some examples:
Me haere- (we, you) should go.
Me kōrero-(we) should talk.

Placing a "?" at the end or changing the tone of your voice to imply it is a question automatically changes the sentence into a question.


For example:
Me hui? Should (we) meet?
Me kai? Should (we) eat?

Karawhiua koutou and have a great start to te wahanga whakamutunga (last term).

Na Terri-Leigh Tuhakaraina
