Thank you so much for this series of lessons. I'm English, but I have Māori family/heritage and have wanted to learn the language for a year or so now!
My new zealander friend's Pounamu necklace drew my attention and this started a chat about this stone, what it means to the Maori and how one should and shouldn't receive one. It eventually brought me to the basics of Maori language. Cuz who knows? Maybe in my first trip to NZ these basic expressions find me a good Maori friend and they wanna give a Pounamu handmade of any sort loaded with their ancestral energies as a gift to me. The right way I'm supposed to own one. Cool Maori lesson my friend. 👍
Coolness. The Mrs is taking time off work to do a two year course learning Maori next year. I know her and her mates will be chatting their heads off in Maori once she catches up to them. I'd just like to know what they're blabbing on about without them knowing. This is a great start for me. Meanage. Che bae! (Oooo look! I've started already)
Learning Māori cause I go a Hawaiian speaking school and I wanna have private conversations with my friends, thanks for making easily accessible lessons
Thank you Whanau I really appreciate these lessons I'm really embracing my identity like never before Woooohooo Tino Pai

...is this formal or informal, please ?
Thanks a lot for the video, much helpful ! Have a great day !
Mōrena, there isn't a formal/informal "you" in Māori. Hope this helps.
We learnt ahau what’s the difference between ahau and ay
Kia ora e hoa. No difference, you can use what you prefer :)
In Māori sentences where you use, "a", au comes after it, not ahau. I think
a au ✔
a ahau ❌
Kei te pehea koe? kei te tino hiakai ahau. Tena koe.
Kei te pēhea koe?
Thank you
