Te Reo Maori Formal and Informal Greetings

Today we are learning to identify formal and informal greetings.

Informal:
Kia ora  (Hello)               Haere ra   (Goodbye)              Morena  (Morning)

Formal:
Tena koe  (hello to one person)     Tena korua  (Hello to two people)     Tena koutou (Hello to many)

Ata Marie  (Good Morning)         Ahiahi  Marie  (Good Afternoon)

 No reira tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa  (therefore greetings, greetings, greetings) Rebecca and Shyann

Haere mai (Welcome) Shyann

  1. Kia Ora, we've enjoyed looking at you're post. We wonder if you know all of those off by heart?
