1344653 2013-06-04 13:44:00 walone may be able to offer me insight. i was just trolling through the maoridictionary and these 2 jumped out at me as being the most applicable


All this bullshit aside, aren't you meaning, "koha"? Koha is more relevant than toha in the context I think you're meaning. But who knows what you mean anyway?


Hoist by your own petard :devil

koha wasnt on the list so i really don't know


toha

1. (verb) (-ina) to spread around, spread out, spread abroad, spread, scatter, share.
Tohaina atu rā ēnei maioha, ēnei kupu whakamihi āku, a Te Taiti Te Tomo, ki ngā iwi o Te Tai Rāwhiti (TTT 1/4/1930:2035). / Distribute these affectionate greetings, these words of thanks of mine, of Te Taite Te Tomo, to the peoples of the East Coast.

If you're wanting to learn Maori, the only thing you'll get out of a dictionary is an approximate translation, word for word. The meaning can change according to the context in which it's used. And then that can change according to the preamble.

Stick to English, it's a more precise, and beautiful language (unless it's being butchered by those who frequent forums such as this). And useful. :devil

Or go to a Te Reo short course, there's probably one at your local Unitec. Auckland Unitec has free short courses on offer, Christchurch probably has, too.

I seriously hope you are being sarcastic

English is a bastardisation of many different languages...

A language is only as beautiful as the speaker of it....
