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
Tēnā tātou katoa e hui mai nei i tēnei ra.
Ngā mihi nui ki a koe, e te kaikarakia
Tēnā koe, kei te kaiwhakahaere
Greetings, to the organiser
No we are are building a raupapa, a sequence.
Ngā mihi nui ki a koe, e te kaikarakia
Big greetings to you, who delivered the karakia
‘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:
Big greetings to you, who delivered the karakia
So the first two lines of my mihi are:
Ngā mihi nui ki a koe, e te kaikarakia
And adding a third phrase in... wow...
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.
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
