Ka pai Mahrosh. Thanks for teaching me some Te Reo Maori. I'm trying to learn as much as I can in lockdown. Yesterday I learnt kawe rongno means headphones and pūhihiko means charger. How did you find out these words? Have you ever used Google Translate?
ReplyDeleteHi Phill,
DeleteI did this blog post for a task since we did not have our Te Reo Maori books. I have never used google translate, but that does sound like a good idea.
