ahiahi nei
See you in the morning
Ka kite i a koe ā te ata
See you all at 4 o’clock
Ka kite i a koutou ā te whā karaka
this evening
pō nei
Let’s get to it!
Kotahi atu tātou
Do the work correctly, or Mum will be angry
Me tika te mahi, kei pukuriri mai a Māmā
The teacher must be exciting or the children will become bored
Me ihiihi te kaiako kei hōhā ngā tamariki
Today we are cleaning up the backyard
Ko tā tātou mahi he whakapai i te iāri
My job is to wash the dishes
Ko tāku mahi he horoi ngā rīhi
You (three or more) want devices all the time
he hangarau tō koutou hiahia i ngā wā katoa
There is nothing to be gained from simply sitting around
kāore he hua o te noho noa iho
Let’s get going!
Hoake tātou
I will mow the grass
Māku te pātītī e pōtarotaro
You can weed-eat the edges of the yard
Māu ngā tapa o te iāri e kukuti
Pull out the weeds from the roots
Hutia ngā taru kia mau atu ngā aka katoa.
Turn over the soil, add some rich soil also (to the māra) then turn it over again.
Kauhurihia te one, hoatu he one haumako, he paraumu hoki, ka kauhurihia anō.
When that’s finished, water (the garden).
Kia mutu taua mahi, ka whakamākūhia ki te wai.
