I am very happy
Ka nui te hari o tōku ngākau
I am glad/sad
E koa/pouri ana ahau
What a shame
Katahi te mea whakama
I was wrong
I he taku
Im ashamed of you
E whakama ana ahau ki a koe
I dont like him
E kore ahau e pirangi ki a ia
I cant stand him
Ka nui taku kino ki a ia
You amaze me
Ka nui taku miharo ki a koe
I am surprised at that
E miharo ana ahau ki tēnā
Is it possible?
He pono koia?
How beautiful
Koia ana ataahua
Thats very pretty
Ka nui te pai o tēnā
Im delighted with it
E ahuareka ana ahau ki tēnei
Why are you angry
Na te aha koe e riri
To yawn without retraint
Hāmama popoia
My gain, lucky me, ive got a beauty, i am fortunate
Nōku te whiwhi
he aha kē (tāu)?
what are [you] on about? what’s it with [you]? - an idiomatic expression where tāu can be replaced by other possessives
Mā koutou e whakaaro ake te tikanga o taku kōrero
think about what i’m saying
Tēnei kōrero heahea anō
what a silly thought that is
Kia mau ki tā mātou kōrero
Take heed of what we’re saying
Nō reira, ka waiho ki kōnei
So i’ll leave it there
Te hunga whakaaro
audience
Kei te tino whakahē mātou ki tēnā ahuatanga
We oppose that idea!
Mehemea ka noho Māori tonu
If we’re true to our Māori customs
Kātahi anō ka mōhio
they just found out
He mea kuare
ignorance of these things
maybe they have forgotten
Kua wareware pea i a rātou
Korekore rawa atu e pai
It would never work
Kāore rawa i pērā
that is not the case
Titiro mai te ātaahua
Look at the beauty
