I've got a hangover
kei te mate haurangi ahau
kay te mutt-e ho-rungee ah-ho
I love you
kei te aroha au i a koe
kay te ah-raw-ha oh ear kway
Where are you from
No hea koe
nor hair kway
And if you are male and have a partner pay attention please......drum rolllllllllllll

How do you say:
- Get to work lazy
- Hope you feel better now
- How was your sicky you pulled on me yesterday?
These will prove useful @ work!!
Ok, for now am working on the Good Morning & See you later...

Re: How about some Te Reo for Maori language week
Why is it with all those phrases I can see myself remembering the "I have a hangover" translation. Typical of me!

Re: How about some Te Reo for Maori language week
It only means you "bloody bugger!" or did you get something else?! I hope not!
I love you really!
I love these:-
Pai ana ki a koe mehemea ka hoko inu au mau?
Can I buy you a drink?
Kaore, engari pehea ke whiwhi i te moni?
No, but can I have the money instead?

Re: How about some Te Reo for Maori language week
Where are you finding those phrases!!??
Infinitely more helpful than "I.would.like.a.bus.ticket.to.the.town.hall".
