Unlike Maori, many of the European settlers didn't speak Te Reo Maori. Instead the spoke English. As you can imagine, it was very difficult for the two groups to communicate because they didn't have a dictionary or translator. For your task we have to translate five phrases with google translate.
Phrases
1. Nau mai ki Aotearoa, Welcome to New Zealand
2. Tia is my name, Ko Tia toku ingoa
3. What is your name? He aha to ingoa
4. He pai taku ki te takaro i te whutupaoro. I like to play ruby
5. Where do you come from? No hea koe?

Hi there Tia,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the translating! Have you tried saying them out loud? It's great practice! I used to take Maori lessons at school and I would go home practising new phrases in front of my family! Were there any phrases that were harder to translate than the others?
Looking forward to hearing from you Tia and keep up the blog posting!
