How are you feeling?
It's cool to kōrero - Week 2, Term 3
Every ākonga at Leithfield is able to ask someone how they're feeling in Te Reo Māori. You say...
Kei te pēhea koe
Let's break that down...
Kei te = present tense, meaning i'm asking you now (pronoun)
Pēhea = how (action)
Koe = you (pronoun)
And... If you want to reply, it's similar!
Kei te (emotion) au
Emotions could be...
Ngenge = Tired
Harikoa = Happy
Pai = Good
Makariki = Cold
Wera = Hot
Riri = Frustrated
Pōuri = Sad
Māuiui = Sick
For pronunciation help, ask your tamariki or consult Te Aka Māori dictionary https://maoridictionary.co.nz/
So, kei te pēhea koe?
