    Hey Toe’umu,

    Well done on posting the correct translations of each phrase. I like that you’ve paid attention to detail and ensured you got them all. Have you noticed there a phrase you could use in your pepeha? Which phrase do you think you’d use?

    Google translate is such a great tool to use for foreign phrases we might be curious about, I also like to use it when I want to learn new greetings from other languages. I learned a saying in latin called ‘Carpe Diem’ which means ‘Seize the day’ in english. I wonder what it translates to in Māori...

    Toe feiloa’i fo’i,

    Cia.
