The Maori word for baby sister is "tungāne iti."

Ocean-going waka, whatever their size, could be paddled but achieved their best speeds when propelled by sail. The Polynesian settlers of New Zealand migrated to New Zealand in large waka; some of these were waka hourua according to legend, double-hulled vessels. Maori were expert hunters and fishermen. As mostly coastal dwellers, fishing was vitally important to them. Maori considered whales as kaitiaki (guardians), and used their flesh for food and their hard, strong bones for weapons. A Maori tradition that remains today is to throw back the first fish caught. This is a way of thanking Tangaroa, god of the sea, for his bounty. It is also considered that they hopped from island to island before making their journey's end at aotea roa. The cook islands language is 97% similar to that of maori and could suggest that this was the last stop. A favourite meal that is still eaten today is diced raw fish sauced in coconut cream seasoned and salted.

The English word for the Maori word "Riwai" is "potato."

"Te Aroha" is a Māori phrase that translates to "love" or "charity" in English. It is often used as a greeting or expression of respect and goodwill in New Zealand.

In Māori culture, a kuia is a term used to refer to a respected elderly woman or grandmother who holds knowledge and wisdom that is valued by her community. Kuia play important roles in upholding cultural traditions and passing down knowledge to younger generations.

The Maori translation for "my name is" is "Ko ______ toku ingoa" where you would insert your name in the blank space.

In Māori, the word "iti" means "small" or "little." It is often used in language and place names to denote something that is of a smaller size or scale.

Technically not because there is no 'g' in Te Reo Maori (the Maori language) but 'Otago' is derived from the Ngai Tahu dialectical pronunciation of the name 'Otakau'.

Moko is a traditional form of body art practiced by the Māori people of New Zealand. It serves several purposes, including cultural expression, identity, and storytelling. Moko can signify a person's ancestry, status, and achievements, as well as their connection to their tribal community and spiritual beliefs.
