Firstly, the maoris had no written languague so the colonists wrote it down for them. They wrote it down as they heard it. They did not write f*ck for two reasons. Not because it is a naughty word. They wrote down Whak, pronounced just as you see it. Wh as in what, where and when. (I'm in my 70s and have heard it pronounced that way all that time.) They did not pronounce the a as a u because they heard a so they wrote down a. Secondly, they did not hear wh as f as they did not hear f. Read the previous posts again! They state that the maoris do not have an f in their languague. So you are right. It is a different tongue. But the pronunciation seems to be something that TVNZ has dreamed up. It's not correct! It's not what the colonists heard so it's not what they wrote down. Got that?:rolleyes: I don't need you to tell me how my own mother tongue works- why do you even care? All you do is ***** and moan about having to listen to Maori normally- and if you really think what you've written here is what you were trying to say then go back and re-read your original post- or get checked for dementia. If it had nothing to do with the F word then why the asterisk? Drumming up drama over nothing as per usual; get a life. Our "caveman" language doesn't need you and your proud European opinions. Of course you're entitled to them but you're always a prick about them. It's not what TVNZ has dreamed up- it's common across a lot of tribes of Maori today. That's the way the language has evolved, even if old timers don't say it. Sorry it's not what you learned growing up change happens whether you like it or not old man. |

Due for a long break from this forum- the borderline indecency, bigotry and racism along with the pushing of bullshit covid conspiracy theories even when they've been proven wrong time and time again by select few members aren't healthy for anyone to read. Don't mean to sound like a drama queen, just the way I see it. Rest of you take care :) |
