Te Wiki o te Reo Maori - Learning In Lockdown

 Hi guys today I will be showing you what our class did today.

Te Wiki o te Reo Maori is a week where everyone gets to celebrate the language, Te Reo Maori. It is mainly used in NZ and has been celebrated by most of the people in NZ. The use of Te Wiki o te Reo Maori is to get people to know more about this language and the ancestry and history behind it.

Since it's Te Wiki o te Reo Maori, we practiced these sentences in Maori. Here are some of the sentences we did:

Kei te ahau toku kai = I am eating

-Kei te koe toku kanikani = You are dancing

-Kei te toku panui = He is reading


-Kei te ahau toku moe = I am sleeping


-Kei te hikoi ana ia = He was walking


-Kei te oma koe = You are running


-Ko te Paulette kei te waiata = Paulette is singing


-Ko te ruru kei te whakaeke = The owl is hooting


I tried my best to see what the verbs are and hopefully they are correct!

Can you come up with any sentences in Maori? Let me know in the comments!


Bye bloggers!

    I really enjoyed this post! I love how you explained Te wiki o te Reo Maori in a way that was clear and straight to the point. Sometimes things are easier to understand when it’s like that.

    Would I correct if I said,
    kei te ahau toku kani kani..

    my verbs are very limited but I do know the important ones, kai, moe and kanikani!

    Thank you again for sharing!
