Can I get a translation to Maori please?

[Gremlin]

Hi all,

My mum has a powhiri to go to tomorrow, and would fancy a choice phrase... Could I get the following translated?

"I came to NZ from South Africa 10 years ago"

(btw... it is serious, so no unwitting swearing) :rolleyes:

Thankee :2thumbsup

edit: Could I get "Thank you" as well?

[Karma]

Could we also get a translation for;

"Where's the nearest BP pie station, I'm starving!"

That would be a pretty smart native, they're definitely the best of the servo pies :yes:

try i came to nz from sa 10yrs ago BRO or CUZZ

Ko (name) au (My name is...)

I haere au ki Aotearoa no South Africa (sorry don't know words)

"I" (makes it past tense) "haere" travelled "au" (me / myself / I) "ki" to "aotearoa" (NZ) "no" (where from / where belong)

Pronounciation very important. I'll try write it how it sounds under the proper spelling.

Ko (her name) au
Core (like apple core) (say her name) owe or oh (both sound like au)

I haere au ki Aotearoa no country
Ee high-rear owe (or oh) key our-tear-oar nor South Africa

There is no exact translation for thanks but the right phrase is "kia ora" (basically means good health or well wishes or cheers as well as hello)

Pronounced = care oar-ra
