Anything you want. But in Tonga they have a specific way of showing respect. What puts Tongans apart is that RESPECT for tongans is a big thing. For tongans there are different catergories of respect. There are rules in Tonga that you must obey & by sticking to them, you would be fine. And when you stick to them you shall do whatever you want in Tonga. BUT, if you give one wrong move & DISRESPECT someone, thats when everybody will come running after you with a weapon. So you doing whatever you want depends on what you do & how you act.
Native fijians called i-taukei named the island group Viti. Viti had many trades with neighbouring Tonga before the arrival of missionaries. When missionaries arrived in Tonga, they saw some fijians and was curious as to who they were. The tongans tried to explain to the missionaries that they are from Fisi. Tongans called fijians Fisi. The missionaries had a hard time pronouncing Fisi and instead say Fiji. That was how fiji was born. Literally through miscommunication between the Tongans and the late missionaries of the pacific.
