Lesson 151 - Introduction Practice (Very Basic)
from Learn Cook Islands Māori Hosted by Tom Harrison and Junior Charlie
Ready to sound like you actually know what you’re saying in Māori? In this episode, we cover the essentials: saying hello without looking awkward, asking “How are you?” (and actually knowing how to reply), introducing yourself like a pro, and even asking where someone’s from without sounding like a stalker. Oh, and we’ll wrap it up with a couple of handy exits: “That’s enough” and “See ya.” I’ll say each phrase nice and slow, leave space for you to repeat (yes, out loud ; don’t just sit there nodding), and by the end, you’ll have enough survival phrases to impress your friends, confuse strangers, and maybe even hold a short conversation. Conversation 1 A: Kia orāna, pe’ea koe? B: Meitaki au. Pe’ea koe? A. Meitaki. Conversation 2 A: Koai tōou ‘ingoa? B. Toku ingoa ko May. Koai tōou? A. Toku ingoa ko Tom. Conversation 3 B. Tom, no’ea mai koe? A: Nō Aitutaki mai au. May, no’ea mai koe? B. No Aotearoa mai au. A: May, e aka teia. Ka kite B: Ka kite Tom.
