Is Tongan and Samoan the same?
No! They're two completely different ethnic groups. Samoans are from a country called
'Samoa' in the South Pacific, hence the word 'South Pacific' (Australasia) meaning Samoans come from a different continent from where Africans are from.
Basically comparing a Samoan to an African is like comparing the English to the Chinese.
Obviously, they're not the same.
How to make a umu, okay then, first you make a blazing fire and then you cover the fire with volcano rocks. While the volcano rock are heating up the women are in the kitchen getting all the food ready like peeling the taro and the green banana and cutting up the pua'a (pork) and going up the road to buy some coconut cream. When the volcano rocks are hot you put a metal net on them to cook the food on. And then you put on the food like the taro an the palusami and then cover the food with banana leaves and wet news paper and when you smell nice things you cover it with wet mats. After 1 and a half hours you remove the newspaper, the leaves and the mats and let the food cool down and then BUNNAPATTEAT!!
How do you say in Samoan hello baby?
Malo soifua teine aulelei. Edit: "Hello baby" translates literally to "Talofa Pepe" (Talofa - Hello; Pepe - Baby), but using the word "pepe" just doesn't have the right feel in the context it's said in, so perhaps in translating the idea/meaning, we could instead say, "Talofa Pele", which translates to "Hello Dear".
Polite/respectful/formal - Taumafa, tausami, talialo, talisua; informal/every day talk - ai, fai'aiga

What is the translation from Samoan to English of UA LA IA?
The beginning means "I already told you to.." but the last word is spelled wrong and can't make anything of it. It resembles an insult spelled "ai kae". Which would be a grave insult making the phrase "I already told you to eat feces."substituting the last word, of course for the common swear word meaning the same.
The red base represents courage. The blue stands for freedom and the white represents purity. The five stars symbolize the constellation the Southern Cross, representing the stars Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon, which is smaller because it doesn't shine as brightly as the other stars in the constellation. The cross represents Samoa's geographical position in the world and its link to New Zealand, which also incorporates the Southern Cross on its national flag.
