Maori

Today I matched Maori names with the English name. 

First we tried translating the Maori names without using a Maori dictionary. Then I used the Maori dictionary to help me translate the Maori names I don't know.

After that I did a task where I tried to translate a conversation from Maori to English. We tried figuring out what the sentence say with our prior knowledge on translating Maori words and names.. For example: Te kau ma waru ōku tau= I am eighteen years old

Translating People's name

This week we translated people's names in Maori to English. 

First we tried translating the Maori names into English without using a dictionary.

After that we used a Maori dictionary to help us translate the Maori names that we don't know.

If a name starts with a S or a J in Maori the name would start with the letter H because, in the Maori alphabet their is no S or a J . For example Sarah- Hare.

This week for Maori we did a task where we had to translate Maori to English. To help us we used the Maori dictionary to search words in Maori that we didn't know the meaning to.

After that we did a exercise where we had to look at image that shows a type of weather, and then we had match it with the Maori phrase. 

For example: if the image is sunny, in Maori it's ke te mahana.

This week for Maori we learnt the different body parts.

For activity we had to match the body part in Maori with the body part that is English. We had to highlight the body parts in highlight we do know and the ones we don't we leave blank. For example: (waist- hope).

The words we didn't had to search it on the Maori dictionary so we know how to produce the word and know what it means.
