Common errors we make - Hapa Reo

Kia ora! I have now have the beginnings of a website. If you'd like to check it out it.

A Maori Podcast Website

This episode is a lot different. I go through a list of common errors made in Te Reo. This is compiled by Ako Panuku, Haemata, [pg.3-7]. A resource encouraged by The Ministry of Education NZ 2014. I ran out of time, so I only managed to share 10 from their resource.

When:

Ahea koe hoki mai ai? - When will you return

Kia tae au ki Te Hawera, ka korero au ki a ia. -When I get to Hawera I will talk to her.

Ka rongo au i te korero a te tauheke ra, ka tata mate au i te katakata. - When I heard what that old man was saying, I nearly died laughing.

Ka tae ana te manuhiri ki te marae, ka karangahia ratou e te kuia. - When the manuhiri arrive at the marae, they will be called by the kuia.

And also:

Me te mea ano, me korero taua ki tona rangatira. - And another thing, we should talk to his boss.

Do you have.../ I have...:

He pukapuka tahau? - Do you have a book?

He pukapuka tahaku. - I have a book

What is your name:

Ko wai tou ingoa? - What is your name?

What is this for:

Hei aha tenei? - What is this for?

Give me a turn:

Mahaku pea inaianei - It is my turn now.

I caught the train:

I eke au i te tereina - I boarded the train.

See you later:

Ka kite i a koe - [You'll] be seen by me.

Ka kite ano i a koe - [You'll] be seen again by me.

Not yet:

Kaore ano ratou kia tae mai: - They have not yet arrived.

I haven't any:

Kaore ahaku pukapuka. - I haven't any books/ I don't have a book.
