Hi
What is the weather forecast?
A sunny day.
This is how we say it in Maori:
He aha te tohu huarere?
He rangi paki.

Hey Mark,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this activity, well done for correcting ordering the sentences.
It’s very paki (sunny) and wera (hot) today where I am, how about you?
Another student asked me what my favorite Maori word was. I thought it was a great question. I'd love to know if you have learned a new word you use more often now?
I must admit that I don’t know too many Maori words and only know a few complete sentences, so I’m enjoying these tasks too as I get to learn a bit as well.
My favourite word might have to be “Pounamu”, pounamu is green stone or jade and it also means ‘precious’. My house at school was called pounamu and green’s my favourite colour. Our house motto was Ahakoa he iti, he pounamu: ‘Although Small, It Is Precious’.
Do you have a favourite word?
See you later in the comments,
Daniel
Hi Daniel
DeleteThank you for your comments. My favourite word this summer is aihikirimi. Today was wera too.
