It is an emphasized way of greeting someone rather than just saying Kia-ora (hello). Hopefully that made sense... another way to explain is when you say good morning to someone in Maori most people say 'Morena' but if you want to say it with more empasis you say Atamarie! i hope this helped
It is a greeting to 3 or more people Tena koe: Hello to one Tena Korua: Hello to two Tena koutou: Hello to all
Thank you (when speaking to one person).
It is a greeting to two people (one person, "Tena Koe", 3 or more, "Tena Kotou")
In Māori, you say "Tēnā koe" when meeting someone for the first time.
Kia ora tena koe hello to on tena korua hello to two tena koutou hello to all Haere mai eveyone welcome everyone
'tena koe' is hello to one, 'tena korua' is speaking to two. "Tena Koutou' when speaking to a group of 3 or more.
In Maori, you can say "Thank you" as "Kia ora" or "Me mihi ka tika".
The phrase "I am well thank you" in Maori can be translated as "Kei te pai ahau, tena koe".
New Zealanders use the same gestures and greetings as other English speaking parts of the world, with the addition of Maori greetings, including:"Kia ora", "Tena koe/Tena korua/Tena koutou", "Haere mai" and the hongi (where noses touch in a symbolic sharing of air).
"He ataahua koe" means "you are beautiful" in English.
"He korero Māori koe" in Māori means "you speak Māori".
Koura Means Kewai Which Is A Fresh Water Specie If you mean Tena Korua, it means hello to two people.
