イントロ

Hi, I’m Sarah. Welcome to The Daily English Show.

The video I recommend today is called: Learn To Count in Māori

　Learn To Count in Maori

I think this is a very simple, but very effective language learning video.

It’s on this channel on YouTube – they have some excellent videos there, so if you’re interested in the Māori language, go and check them out.

If you watch this video a few times, you’ll be able to count in Māori. Which is very useful if you’re going to New Zealand – because as I said there are lot of Māori words in New Zealand English.

And I think if you visit New Zealand if you know some Māori language then, you’ll probably have a richer experience.














STICK NEWS

Kia Ora, in Stick News today, an eight-year-old girl was kicked out of a tennis tournament in New Zealand after officials discovered she was wearing a hidden earpiece to receive instructions from her father.

An eight-year-old girl was playing in her first tennis tournament in New Zealand when officials became suspicious of a heightened degree of questioned calls.
They then discovered an earpiece hidden under her thick headband.
Her father said he was only helping his daughter keep score.

And that was Stick News for Thursday the 24th of July.
Kia Ora.














Word of the Day

Today’s word is whānau.

Whānau means family or extended family.

This is a Māori word and it’s also very common in New Zealand English.

For example you could say:
I’m going to see the whānau this weekend.

I searched for whānau online to find an example and I found this at the end of a blog post:
Hope this finds all the whānau in good health.














conversations with sarah

　Do most people speak Māori?


Takeru
Is Maori an official language in New Zealand?
　ニュージーランドでマオリ語は公用語なの？

Sarah
Yes. English and Maori are both official. And New Zealand sign language is an official language too.
　はい、英語とマオリ語、両方公用語です。　それにニュージーランド手話も公用語です。

Takeru
Do most people speak Maori?
　ほとんどの人たちはマオリ語を話すの？

Sarah
No. But everyone knows all the words that are also used in New Zealand English, like marae or whanau or tangi. And lots of people know basic questions like: kei te pehea koe?
　いいえ、しかしニュージーランド英語で普段から使われている単語は皆さん知っています。　例えばマレエ、ワナウ、タンギなど。　そして多くの人が基本的な質問を知っています。　例えばケイ　ティ　ペヒア　コエ？

Takeru
What does that mean?
　何て意味？

Sarah
How are you?

Takeru
And how do you answer?
　どう答える？

Kei te pai.

knfの独り言：
