#kōrua

[vaynglories]

my new year's resolution is to say "y'all" less and say "youse" more like god intended. the english language may lack a proper second-person plural pronoun but that's no excuse for me to get americanized about it eh

[ofmdtereomaori]

"tō kōrua" = your (two people). Not sure whether "your robber" should be ō or ā category but in theory Stede is in charge so he's ō?? pea???

[takataapui]

Tēnā koe Riwhi! My partner and I just played your bittern game and really loved it. It was our first RPG like this and took us into the mind of the horrible creature. Thanks for making this! Ngā mihi mahana, David

Tēnā kōrua ki a koe rāua ko tō tahu! That's so lovely to hear, I'm really glad you both enjoyed it! Appreciate your kind words :) Nhā mihi maioha ki a koe!

Pō mārie – Good night

Greetings in Te Reo Māori.

Saying hello:

The following greetings are formal: Tēnā koe - Hello (to one person) [literally there is you (one person)] Tēnā kōrua - Hello (to two people) [literally there are you (two)] Tēnā koutou (katoa) - Hello (to three or more people) (all) [literally there are you (three or more)] Tēnā koe e hoa - Hello friend Tēnā koe e [ingoa] - Hello [name]. If the name has one or two syllables use ‘e’ in front of the name, other wise simply say their name. For example; tēnā koe e Mere, but tēnā koe Hinemoa.

The following is more casual: Kia ora! - Hey!  [literally be well] Like tēnā koe it can be followed by pronouns or e [ingoa] but these are optional.

Saying goodbye:

Haere rā - Goodbye (said to those who are going) [literally go there] E noho rā - Goodbye (said to those who are staying) [literally stay there] Hei konei rā - Goodbye (said by either) [literally at this place in the future] Ka kite anō - See you again Ka kite - See you
