Make my mihi 2

Well here I am back for "Make my mihi 2". Delighted to be building on this. 

It is not necessarily about the length of the greeting, but more about the act and knowing it is important. This is so important for me to remember. I am retyping my first line and practising daily.

Tēnā tātou katoa e hui mai nei i tēnei ra.
Greetings to you all that have gathered here this day

No we are are building a raupapa, a sequence.

‘Iti te kupu, nui te kōrero’
Although the message is small, it speaks volumes

Today we are learning about mihi-ing to the kai karakia. 

The sentence I am choosing is:

Ngā mihi nui ki a koe, e te kaikarakia
Big greetings to you, who delivered the karakia

So the first two lines of my mihi are:

Tēnā tātou katoa e hui mai nei i tēnei ra.
Ngā mihi nui ki a koe, e te kaikarakia

And adding a third phrase in... wow...

Tēnā koe, kei te kaiwhakahaere
Greetings, to the organiser

So, three lines to record and remember...

Tēnā tātou katoa e hui mai nei i tēnei ra.
Ngā mihi nui ki a koe, e te kaikarakia.
Tēnā koe, kei te kaiwhakahaere

Teehee, four attempts, all uploaded... loving this new learning, and growth... bring on Make my mihi 3
