[When you see her, say hello from me.]Kia ... ka - Kia mutu nga whaikorero, ka haere mai te manuwhiri ki te hariru. [When the speeches are over, the guests approach to meet the hosts.]Ana - Hiki ana te hui, hokihoki ana nga tangata ki o ratou kainga.When the meeting closed, eveyone whent home (past)When the meeting closes, everyone goes home (general statement)When the meeting close, everyone will go home (future)Ka ... ana - Ka tae ana te ope, ka powhiritia.
