This jesrsey is warm.

Ā te haurua mai i te ono karaka ā te pō nei.
6:30pm this evening (future).

Nō wai te paihikara pīataata nei?
Whose is this shiny bike.

Nā wai te ngeru pīwari nei.
Whose cute cat is this?

Rite pai nei.
Like you in a good way.

Ko Kāpiti te motu te rū nei taku ngākau.
Kāpiti is the island that speaks to my heart.

Kia pēhea te hōhonu o te rua nei?
How deep should this hole (rua) be?

Kia kite ai rātou i te marae ātaahua nei.
So they could see the beautiful marae.

Nōu ngā hū nei.
These are your shoes.

Kia ora māmā mō te kai pai nei.
Thanks mum for this good food.

Ā te tau e heke mai nei, ka tū te hui nui.
In the year ahead, the big meeting will be held.

Ki tōku nei whakaaro, koinei te mea pai rawa.
In my opinion, this is the best one.

Titiro ki ngā pikitia i raro nei.
Look at the pictures below.

Kia mutu tātou i te wā tika, nei?
Please let's try to finish on time, shall we?

Auē, e Mā, kua wera a roto nei.
Gosh, Mā, it's got hot in here.

Kei te pīrangi kai te kōtiro nei.
The girl wants to eat.

Tōku nei whare.
This house of mine.

Mō wai te wai nei?
Who is this water for?

Mō rāua te wai nei.
The water is for them.

He tika te kī a tō tātou ariki, nā te kōtiro nei i pai mai ki a Ponga, kāti me āwhina e tātou.
The words of our leader are just; because this girl loves Ponga, we should support her.

He hopunga kōrero reo Māori anō ka tāpirihia atu ki ngā mīhini hei ngā marama tata ake nei.
More audio in te reo Māori will be added to the system in the next few months.

"Katoa tō mātou kapa e tino manawanui nei i te āheinga a te hunga reo Māori ki te whakamutu i ā rātou mahi hoko kai i roto i te reo, i te āheinga hoki mā te whānui me te whāroa o ā mātou toronga, ka āwhina kia whakarauora i te reo, ā, kia whakamahia e ngā whakatipuranga kei te pihi ake."
"Our entire team is incredibly proud that not only can te reo Māori speakers now complete their shopping in their own language, but that we can use our scale and reach to help ensure te reo Māori is revitalised and used for generations to come."

Hei huarahi mā tātou i te rangi nei.
A pathway for us all this day.

Hei tino tauira hei tāna, "i roto i te Kowheori i ngā marama e ono, e hia kē nei ngā kupu mō te mate Kowheori i te tīmatanga rā."
A prime example "is when Covid-19 first hit, in the first six months there were so many different Māori names used for the word Covid".

Kei te mātakitaki koe i te kēmu ā te pō nei?
Are you watching the game tonight?

Ehara nō tāua te marae nei.
This marae is not ours.

Ka kite ā te pō nei!
See [you] tonight!
