  • High school student Finnian Galbraith is putting the Kāpiti back in “Cap-it-ee” College. A video clip of his speech on the importance of Māori pronunciation has received over 120,000 views in three days, gained the attention of local MPs, and it’s even made international news.

    Kia ora Finnian. He korero aataahua aau korero. nga mihi nui mo eenei korero pai. I agree entirely with your thoughts and beautiful words. My name is Moana. Easy right? We are surrounded by the Moana; there is a Moana road or street in almost every town and yet all through my schooling and majority of my adult life, I have been called Mona or Mowanna or Mo-anna. EEEKKKK!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Our hope is that people will take notice and "make an effort." You are a leader amongst your age group. kia kaha e hoa.

    People look at you funny if you pronounce Camembert or Champagne wrong.

    At the very least, Maori deserves more respect from the Citizens of NZ than French does.

    A report in Maori on a Maori channel about Maori pride. A white kid speaking on the importance of Maori preservation and then he is the only one exclusively in English.. I had to slap my forehead!

    i think it's important to learn about your birthplace and wherever you may live, but like, if people just say it different because it's easier for them that way, it doesn't matter. literally every language that pronounces something from another language, says it in their own languages accent and spelling habbits. if people are trying to be disrespectful outright maybe? i mean you tell me the Maori are saying every english thing right even if they never really heard or spoke it before, and maybe then it would make sense, but still not really

      last year Vodafone changed “NZ” to “Aotearoa” for Māori language week. A lot of people did not like it.
      The “r” sound is a slight roll which some people may have problems with, but Māori vowels are simple short ones (ah-eh-ee-oh-uu) and there’s really no reason to be calling “warehou” as ware-how, or “hoki” as hoe-ki. I would say that the vowel combination “au” is one that most Pākehā know, but “Taupō” is still pronounced T-ow-po. Some people may definitely struggle with it and it’s cool if they can only say one or two words correctly! The point is that they’re *trying!* Many Pākehā (namely white ones) simply do not bother.
      And New Zealand was colonised. So our language has been abandoned in favour of English. Most, if not all, can speak English proficiently. Pronunciation matters. I don’t know why you think it doesn’t.

    Throw the cue cards away buddy, say it from the heart. The need for pronouncing and understanding Maori words properly is in our integrity. If you let a little bit slip, then over time it becomes a bastardised language.

      Ah well not being able to speak every language in the world has got nothing to do with pronouncing Maori words, and calling it absolute gibberish is not something to be proud saying.But your behind a screen so you dont care about what you say, where you say it, or who you say it to do you? If you dont care about the language, keep it to yourself or have the decency to at least show some respect.
