Tēnā koutou - hello everyone.

Think about a question, such as “is breakfast good?” 

He pai a ‘_______’? Is ‘________’ good?

You can reply with a number of fairly simple phrases. 

Āe, he pai. Yes, it’s good.

Āe, he tino pai. Yes, it’s very good.

Kāo. No.

Try the words.

He pai. Good. Well done.

Now we can work on the complicated stuff, like some compliments on your new language skills. 

He tino pai tō kōrero. What you have said is very good.

He tino pai tō pikitia. Your picture is great.

He tino pai tō mahi. Your work is great.

He rawe tō kōrero. What you have said is excellent.

Tēnā koe e Tracy. Thank you Tracy.
