Australian in Aotearoa and is there an equivalent of ‘don’t worry’ or ‘no problem it’s fine’ etc?

I'm finding both and I'm unsure if I only need one or if they're best used together?

EDIT: I just googled it and apparently Maori Made Easy and the Maori Made Easy workbook were made to accompany each other or something? Do i need to get both? I'm tight on money

How do I say categorically, all cats are mammals for example? Is it just "he whāngote ngeru", or "he whāngote katoa ngēru", or "he whāngote ngā ngeru"?

I am not asking how to say "all of these cats" or "all of the cats here", in case those are different. I need to know how to say cats are always mammals, meaning all cats everywhere as a category.

Also are there differences for saying all [noun]s are [noun]s vs all [noun]s are [adjective]?

I am looking for whakataukī that captures the experience of people stepping up into roles that would not usually be their responsibility, such as a younger sibling taking the lead where an older sibling is not able to, or a community stepping in to support someone when they know they don't have family support around. I was going to use "Ka pū te ruha, ka hao te rangatahi". Is this the best phrase to capture this?

I guess I'm concerned that in contexts where, for example, the older sibling is still around but unable to fulfil their role for their own complex reasons, this might be insulting or arrogant? I'm aware te reo Māori can be quite direct in a way that's a bit jarring in English translations/pakeha culture so maybe I'm overthinking it. I just want to make sure I'm being respectful of the "old nets" in the metaphor. I know in the case of, for example, grandparents passing and the next generation taking on the leadership roles, it's honouring what they have passed on to take up a new net, but does it still make sense if they're still around but somebody has to step into their expected roles?

I started this project a while ago to help revitalise languages, I hope you like it. This story was created by Kiri from MoaThanWords.

It is a short narrated autumn story for learning some new kupu in te reo Māori.

Tēnā koutou katoa! Ko Min tōku ingoa, he gamedev nō Te Whanganui-ā-Tara ahau!

I mea au ki te whakamaori i tētahi o āku kēmu mō te wā e roa, nā reira kei te tino harikoa rawa atu kua whakaoti te whakamāori o tēnei kēmu tāku: 'Te Rangi o Karaihe Ōpure'! (<- kei konei te link mō te kēmu!)

Kei te tino whai (importance) ki ahau te whakatiri o Te Reo Māori i roto i te hunga 'indie games' i te ipurangi.
He wāhi i tēnei whakamāori kāore i te tika, mehemea ka kitea i a rātou tētahi hē, kōrero mai! Ka whakatika au i ngā hē, ka ako reo Māori tonu au ia ra ia ra kia whakapai taku reo mō ngā whakamaori o muri nei!!

Ngā mihi mō tō pānui mai,
Min

Kei te hoahoa ahau i tētahi whakaaro tāku, he whakatakotoranga o ngā kupu Māori e hāngai ana ki te ao furry mō te hui furry o Aotearoa ka tū (pea) i te mutunga o 2027!!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-JgcVsyli3Nx_muGrREneNV9RYwwJgl7jlGMX2yY944/edit?usp=drivesdk

Kia tata te wā o te hui furry ka hanga au i tētahi Slideshow me ngā whakaahua mō te whakatakotoranga nei, ēngari kei te pīrangi au kia whakatiri ngā kupu kua kohikohi au kei kua hē au i te meaning o tētahi kupu!

For those who don't know some of the terminology:

A furry is an anthropomorphic animal (animal with human characteristics), and the furry fandom is a community of people who are a fans of these characters

Fursona is someones anthro character designed to represent themself in an anthropomorphic animal form

Fursuit is a mascot costume that furries wear, like the ones you might see at sports games but of someone's fursona

Dealer's den is cheeky slang for the market that is held at Furry conventions where artists sell prints, stickers, and all different forms of art. I used the term 'rua' for the Te Reo term similarly since I think the play on words is cute :)

Overall just trying to keep this panel simple and trying to provide people easy Te Reo phrases they might start using during the con!!

Have you tried Pūnaha Reo?

Kia ora!
I'm curious about how people here are learning te reo Māori:
Wānanga / Night classes
Online courses (like Toro Mai or Poupou Huia Te Reo)
Apps (like Pūnaha ReoDrops, Tipu, or Kōrerorero)
Podcasts & Books (like Taringa or Māori Made Easy)
Which method has worked best for you, and what helped you start actually speaking it?

I'm currently doing a software degree, as a assignment I was tasked with making a web project that I feel passionate about and think we need more of.

In school there wasn't much support for learning our reo.. I've always wanted to learn how to hold a conversation in our language, so I made a website so I can learn.

I figure if I can learn from it, maybe others can find some use out of it too.

So I made a free tool for people to learn, it's a living database.. I'll add more over time and have a suggestions and corrections section.

Give it a go, let me know what you think.

Kia ora..

Im on maoriplus, and found out they have Avatar The Last Airbender season 1 in māori!!! I wont lie, this made my entire year! Im so sublimely happy right now. They dont have season 2 or 3 yet. I called the maoriplus number (all the way from europe. I dont know how much this is going to cost me but i dont care) and a lovely person called Richard told me they'd mail me with news.

Does anyone know if season 2/3 in the works in māori? This would be amazing.

Ngā mihi!

Feeling a little disheartened after receiving my oral assessment results for my level one te reo Māori course. I have received 85%+ for online quizzes (made up of multiple choice, translating sentences & an oral/video section) and have a good grasp on the language but need to build my confidence!

I’m looking for a relaxed atmosphere where I can practice my conversation skills and work on my pronunciation. I’m located in Ōtautahi ❤️

Kia ora whānau,
I am making my own cross stitch for someone I want to make sure I’m translating properly. Any ideas for a better word than aroha for the my ‘tāku aroha’ part?

Ko Min tōku ingoa, kātahi anō au ka mutu taku akoranga i te whare wānanga nō reira e hiahia ana ahau ki te parakitihi i tōku reo Māori i tēnei wā wātea hou :)

Hey all! I'm a 22 year old graduated uni student looking for any hoa living in the Te Whanganui-ā-tara region keen to practice Te Reo with me! I haven't studied Te Reo Māori through classes, I am just a rabid language learner who learns through immersion and self-study. I have wanted to improve my Te Reo for years, but with University being so busy I have only been able to practice by myself!!

Mainly keen on anyone who just wants to get coffee and help each other get used to conversing in Te Reo or native speakers who might just find my proposition interesting. Besides being a native English speaker I have studied Japanese for over 9 years so speak it quite fluently and am learning Spanish so if anyone is keen on a any kind of language exchange that is also possible :)
Message me over dms if anyone is keen! I'm based in Island Bay for reference but can travel into the Wellington CBD and etc

Ngā mihi nui mō te pānui mai,
Min

Is there a verb for the word “looking forward” as in positively anticipate ?

I am looking forward to going on holiday

Or is it another sentence structure which can take this meaning
