Je was op zoek naar: having a love for the language is everything (Engels - Maori)

kei te kohete tana kuia i a ia

i would like to thank all the teachers at te wananga o raukawa. it is true to say of our māori ancestors: “language is the lifeblood of māori identity”. speaking the language makes us strong. greetings, greetings, greetings to you all.
e mihi ahau ki a ngā kaiako katoa i te wananga o raukawa e tika ana te kōrero i ō māori tūpuna: “ko te reo te mauri o te mana māori”. mā te kōrero te reo e pakari i tātou. tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
