So delighted to join in with this asynchronously. I am looking forward to catching up and being able to join in next week face to face.
Today is all about mihi-ing to people in the room. At the heart of this is discernment - reading the room and responding to those who are here. Awareness and identifying the important moments is very important here.
Step 1: An intro to your mihi (Starter)
Tēnā koutou
Kia ora rā (the rā gives the sentence more flow and makes it more emphatic)
Kia ora rawa atu (Many thanks)
E rere ana ngā mihi…….. (my mihi is starting to flow to you)
Tēnei ka mihi…… (This is me giving you a mihi)
Nei rā ngā mihi……(Here is my mihi)
Step 2: Who are you mihi-ing to? (Who are you greeting?)
E te/ngā
Kei te/ngā
(These two phrases go before a name)
Eg. Tēnei ka mihi ki a... (this is me giving my mihi to [insert name])
Ki a …. (to)
Ki a koe
Ki a koutou
E aku ……. (rangatira[chiefs]
‘My’
E.g. ‘E rere ana ngā mihi ki a koutou(.) ‘e aku rangatira’
Kia ora rawa atu e ngā kaiako kua tautoko i a mātou
Many thanks to our teachers who have supported us

Phew, I am just LOVING this new learning, now to practice it daily... watch out...
BOOM, recording and uploaded...
What I have noticed is that I am becoming increasingly comfortable and noticeably more fluent. I do have a slight concern that I am taking on a lot, quickly. I need to revisit and practice daily.
Ngā mihi nui
AK
