Parakuihi!

I tunu koutou te parāoa rewana. We cooked all of the rewana bread It was great to see so many of you at Parakuiki, Rātū. It was a great opportunity to use some of the Te Reo we have been practicing. Using simple phrases like, He inu wera mau? Ae, he inu wera māku! (A hot drink for you ? Yes, a hot drink for me!), is challenging but good practice for us all. We have been using the context of Kai for much of our learning in Te Reo and this was an opportunity to put it into practice. This is some of the Reo used. Kei te pēhea koe? How are you? Kei te pai/kei te tino ora au. I’m good/I’m great! Kei te hiakai koe? Are you hungry? Ae! Yes! Kei te pai ahau, engari ,kei te hiakai au.
