| 1465721 | 2019-12-30 22:56:00 | I’m just curious how many of you would actually be brave enough to say it to a group of Maori people and see what the reaction is. My bet is you would probably not have the guts to say it. | QW. (15883) | ||

My bet is you would probably not have the guts to say it. Not a group, but when talking to some people if they use Maori and I cant get the jist of it I say - Sorry but I don't understand Maori, what does that mean please, :confused: Every time its gone - ok and use english. It all depends on how you approach it, if you get all aggro the response will be the same. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1465723 | 2019-12-31 00:07:00 | I have a few maori friends. They use words often, if I don't know it, I say what is "x". and they just say (whatever it is). No-one gets offended, I have learned a few words now so I know what it is. I have no intention of taking up study of it, but nor does it bother me if they do it. I was also in a butchers yesterday, and a lady there was doing it, english/persian? I think? So, not my problem, the one she was talking to wasn't having an issue so why should I care? get over it..... Nz is multicultural now but maori were here first. |

Well, second.- but they very wisely avoided treaties with the people they stirred up and used a different form of settlement. |

| 1465729 | 2020-01-01 19:38:00 | Yes, the Moriori....although some maori will tell you they were on the Chathams, regardless the difference between them wasn't that huge so lets just say maori and not nitpick. | piroska (17583) | ||
| 1465730 | 2020-01-01 20:40:00 | And the Taranaki Maoris charted a ship went over and killed most of them. I have told my kids if they speak Maori or do that exaggerated maoris pronunciation they will be down the road. They aint living in my house anymore. | prefect (6291) | ||
