Maori Unpacked, 31, Ler's check the room again
31
Before we break for supper let's check the room again
On the Fridge Door Blackboard we have all the negatives under the Banner Headline;
Kua kai koe?
Have you eaten?
Kao. Kaaore anoo
No. Not yet
Kaua e kai kei hiakai koe!
Don't eat unless you are hungry
And just as you go out the door there is a Question Box with
Kei te peehea koe?
How are you?
Ka haere koe ki hea?
Where are you going?
He aha te kaupapa?
What is the purpose?
Aa hea koe e haere?
When will you go?
Ko wai teeraa tangata i waho?
Who is that person outside?
And on the coffee table in a Book of Dreams and Reflections there is the Past. The Present and the Future...
Inanahi, he tangata nui au...
I was a big man yesterday...
Aapoopoo, ka hoki mai au.
Tomorrow I will return.
I teenei ra ka whakaaro tonu au moo eenei mea.
Today I am thinking about these things.
