Translating Phrases - Day 5

Yay we made it blogging world! Today is the last activity for week 1. Everyone has been busy contributing in the Summer Learning Journey so here some of their work! Click here! Well done to everyone. So moving on for today's activity, in the old days the first settlers were the Maori people so they talked Te Reo Maori, and then English people bravely came to New Zealand but they spoke English all of them couldn't understand each other. They had no translators, google and all that stuff we have now. So today we have try translate a little introduction about yourself by using google translate. Here are the translation in English first.


1. Welcome to New Zealand.
2. Amie is my name.
3. What is your name?
4. I like to play rugby.
5.Where do you come from?

I actually don't like playing rugby but those are one of the phrases. Now on to the Maori version.

1. Nau Mai Ki Aotearoa.
2. Ko Amie Toku Ingoa.
3. He Aha To Ingoa?
4. He Pai Taku Ki Te Takaro I Te Whutupaoro.
5. No Hea Koe?

You can see how handy the translator is right? So here is the link to the translator. So maybe next time you can try learn a different language too? I have really enjoyed this activity because now I know a little bit more Te Reo Maori. It was easy to get it translated because there was a translator we can use. I hope you have enjoyed this blog post! Please drop a comment down below! Bye! Bye! Blogging world!
