Column 1: are concrete, you must use each of them as you are putting your mihimihi together
Column
2: depending on the situation you
are talking about will be your next appropriate word(s) to use.
Column
3: are the translations of column
3
Hei
tauira: Row A =Tēnā koutou (column 1) e hoa mā (column 2)
Row B = kua
(column 1) hui mai nei (column
2)
These mihimihi are for you to use when-ever
and where-ever you wish. Practice using them during karakia at the beginning of
class if you feel like you might need some practice in front of our whānau in a
calm, relaxed and stress-free environment. This will also prepare you well for
your Tangata Rongonui kōrero (end of year speech)
“Tūwhitia
te hopo!” – feel the fear and do
it anyway/YOLO – You only live once!

Step 2:
He Whakataukī: Here
you may insert a Māori proverb that relates to the topic of discussion or the gathering.
Hei tauira/example: “Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me
he maunga teitei”
“Aim for the pinnacles of success, if you are to fail let it be to a
lofty mountain”
Book of reference: The Reed Book of Māori Proverbs by
A.E. Brougham & A.W. Reed,
Revised by Tīmoti Kāretu
Step 3:
Choose one:
1. Kua
mutu ngā kōrero mō tēnei wā – I have finished my speech for now…
2. Ka
whakairihia ngā kete kōrero ki ngā paetara o te whare, kia tiki atu anō hei
roto i te wā – let the baskets of
discussion be hung on the wall, so that they be retrieved again in time to
come…
3. Kia
whakakōpani ake au i aku kōrero i tēnei wā e hika mā –
at this time I shall now conclude
my speech fellow peers
Step 4:
Choose one:
1. Nō
reira tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
– Greetings once, greetings twice, greetings
to you all
2. Haumi
e, hui e, taiki e!
– Come
gather, come hither, thus it is done!
3. Huri
noa i tō tātou whare, tēnā koutou katoa.
– My greetings once again revolve
around our house to you all.
