Day 5: The Dawn of a New Era…
From the 1840s onwards, many European settlers came to live in New
began to outnumber the Māori, a great war erupted between the two groups as
they fought for access to land to build homes and establish communities.
Activity 1: Translating Phrases
Unlike the Māori, many of the European settlers didn’t speak Te Reo
Māori. Instead, they spoke English. As you can imagine, it was very difficult
for the two groups to communicate because they did not have a dictionary or
a translator. These days we are able to use the Internet to translate words
and phrases from one language to another.
Māori or from Te Reo Māori to English. Post the translations on your blog.
Be sure to include the phrase in both the English and Māori to earn full points.
Phrases:
- Nau mai ki Aotearoa. - Welcome to New Zealand
- Loto is my name. - Ko toku ingoa ko Loto
- What is your name? - He aha to ingoa?
- He pai taku ki te takaro i te whutupaoro - I like to play rugby
- Where do you come from? - No hea koe?
Wonderful work Loto, I bet you have learned alot about the Maori language after you finished this task. What did you learn mostly about this task?
ReplyDeleteGreetings Loto,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Aletheia and our school is also doing the summer learning journey.
I really think you have did a outstanding work you have did Loto great job on that.
I really enjoyed it when you had put in the numbers so your readers can no which is the phrase plus I also enjoyed having you have the moari phrase next to the English version which was really great for your readers to know which one belongs to the other one.
Nice Job!:)
Cheers,
Aletheia!
Hi Loto,
ReplyDeleteRuby here from the Summer Learning Journey team!
Well done! You've done a great job here. I really like how you have included the English translations in another colour font to make your thinking clear.
Could you tell me something that you like to do in Maori? For example, I like to play the piano. In Maori that translates to: he pai taku ki te takaro i te piana. Don't forget to use Google if you can't figure it out! :)
I look forward to reading more of your blog over the summer.
Cheers,
Ruby.
