Maori Names

This week I matched English names with Maori names. 

We were given clues to help us match the names without using Maori dictonary. The guys names were in highlited in blue to help us match names. 

Next I tried to translate a conversation in Maori to English. We were allowed to use the maori dictonary to help us translate the sentences. 

For example: 
Tēna koutou katoa     Greeting to you all 

Ko John taku ingoa    My name is John 

Nō Whangarei ahau    Im from Whangarei 

Te kau ma waru ōku tau    I am 18 years old


I found this task hard becuse it was my first time doing translating converations from Maori to english.
