Good Friends in Aotearoa

Many thanks to Janine, who with a little help from her Maori teacher, sent this fine translation of Good Friends.

Good friends talk to each other

- Ka korero nga hoa pai

Good friends listen to each other

- Ka whakarongo nga hoa pai

Good friends play together

- Ka takaro nga hoa pai

Good friends lend things

- Ka tuku nga hoa pai

Good friends share things

- Ka tuari nga hoa pai

Good friends help each other

- Ka tautoko nga hoa pai

Good friends give presents

- Ka tuku taonga nga hoa pai

Good friends care

- Ka tiaki nga hoa pai

The first o in korero, a in nga, first a in takaro have hyphens above them.
