For our task today we were doing a task called What are you doing today?. In this task we have to rearrange Maori words to make a sentence.
The first sentence we arranged is "What are you doing today?" The translation of that sentence is "Kei te aha koe i tenei ra?"
The next sentence we arranged is "I am going to.." In this one we had to add the right Maori word from a pile of words. I chose papa takaro which means field or playground. So the sentence would be "I am going to the field/playground."
The final sentence we arranged is the same as "I am going to.." but we get to choose any word. I chose kaukau which means swim. So that means the sentence would be "I am going to swim"
This task was hard because I'm not that good at understanding Maori.
Hi Fiona,
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog and saying I did a great job at rearranging the Maori kupu. I did enjoy this activity a lot and I did learn some new words. I think learning new words is what made the activity fun, I really enjoy finding out new words in different languages. My favourite language to study is Japanese. Hope you had fun on your kaukau. what Maori words do you think best describes your favourite things to do in summer?
Thanks
Oscar
