IMO, The question is answered when the person who asked it was addressed with “Kia Ora” and the respondent signed off “Nga mihi.”
Most of us do not speak Maori or even want to speak Maori. We are English speaking and so are the government and political people that we converse with.
Introducing more and more Maori words (that we do not understand or use) is not appropriate because it does not promote clear communication.
This inceasing use of confusing Maori jargon is a promotion of the virtue signalling, pc, woke ideology that we are being forced toi accept against our will.
This is the same ideology that promotes the acceptance of racial inequality and co-governance.
We are being manipulated to agree that primitive Maori customs, beliefs and behaviours are appropriate and desirable in modern New Zealand.
We ought to be asking ourselves what do these Maori words really mean and what is the intention behind littering our conversations with words that we do not normally use or understand the true meaning of.
The real message conveyed by the Maorification of our communications is that people with that ancestry have unequal rights and privileges,
Perhaps we should stop accepting this and require the people that use these Moari words to provide a proper definition and an explaination for why they use them instead of common English words that we all understand?
Julian you should also press luxon to open up the past excavations on ancient archeological sites which clearly show there were people here before Maori. This would help to do away with the indigenous status that Maori claim.
The main sites are the stone structures in the Waipoua forest and the Hawkes Bay moa hunter sites.
Ian,
There is also the numerous Maori myths that talk of the other peoples that were here when they arrived. All the books with these stories have been removed from libraries and the archives.
I had some old books from the early 1800’s but married a Maori and they ALL got ‘lent’ to the whānau never to be seen again.
Those remains of stone huts in the Waipuoa Forest are near identical to ancient Celtic ones in Ireland and the very far North of England.
Keep pressing for a reply to your enquiries. Good luck.

Sheesh….that’s interesting. NZ is more and more each day resembling Nazi Germany in the 1920s and 30s
Wow, really I want to know more about the Waipuoa forest and that maybe an anciant Celtic race may have been there, thanks
