You should marry Pare, absolutely not Kiri!
Not that - kaua ko.. tēnei, tēnā, tērā

Kōrero mai tō whakapapa, kaua rawa ko tō pepeha.
Tell me your whakapapa, definitely not your pepeha.
Not that - kaua ko.. tēnei, tēnā, tērā

Kaua rawa e haere!
Do not go!
Absolutely don't - kaua rawa!

He pai ake pea kia haere atu ki tētahi atu kura kaua ko tēnei.

Kaua e wareware ki te kati i te tatau.
Don't forget to close the door.

Kaua e matapiko!
Don't be stingy.

Don't walk under the ladder!

Keep not silent.

Kaua koe e whakarongo ki a ia.
Do not listen to him.

Kaua hei puta ki waho.
Don't go out.

Kaua koe hei whakarongo ki a ia.
Don't listen to him.

Ka tū te pō whakangahau ki tōku whare, kaua ki tōna.
The party is at my place, not his.

Kaua koe e haere.
Don't go.
