Māori Greetings Introduction
A quick greeting guide
A friendly greeting can be used in many situations. It can also express thanks or acknowledge someone. A respectful greeting is for one person; another form is for two people; and a third form is for three or more people. You may reply with a friendly greeting or repeat a suitable respectful greeting. Greetings can show manaakitanga—care and respect—and help people connect. The best choice can depend on the people and situation.
1 person — Tēnā koe
2 people — Tēnā kōrua
3 or more people — Tēnā koutou
Friendly greeting for many situations — Kia ora
