This booklet is to support you to enjoy using te reo Mäori in your community. ‘Te Reo i te Hapori – Mäori Language in the Community’ can be seen, promoted, used and enjoyed everywhere.

Everyone can promote our Mäori language. Whether you are brand new to te reo Mäori, a learner, fluent or a highly fluent speaker, everyone has an important contribution to make.

If you are new to te reo, pronunciation is a great place to start! Or for beginners, try out some of the phrases in this book, starting with the greetings and farewells with other people in your community.

For those of you who are fluent or highly fluent you could speak as often as possible, speak to a friend’s children or be a mentor for a learner.

There are 5 vowel sounds in Mäori. They can be pronounced ‘short’ or ‘long’. We mark the long vowel with a macron, e.g. ä.

a as in cut

e as in pet

i as in eat

o as in fork

u as in you

ä as in car

ë as in vary

ï as in eel

ö as in your

ü as in roof

Where two different vowels appear together, they each retain their basic sound and run together smoothly. Mäori words always end in a vowel.
