I wish we could hear them sing! Nice language lesson - I need some practice!
Great Capture
mean maori mean.
Kia ora,
I don't know any other foreign language than Maori that has so many words that are also words in Finnish. For example haka, kiri, te, kanawa, kumara, puku, namu and many many others.
Naturally they usually don't mean the same thing but for example a patu (maori weapon) could be called patu in Finnish as well.
And New Zealand is just about as far as you can travel from Finland without leaving the planet.

He wai noa iho māku.
That's a phrase I have never used in any language!
Kia ora
We're creating an educational website for senior social sciences students in kura, and would like to use this image (WGC performing at midland park). The image would be used in a video clip that looks at the different uses of oratory skills in Maori society.
How might I seek permission to use this image?
Nga mihi.
