Te Reo Feelings Vocabulary

Explore feelings vocabulary in context. Read the makerspace story, then complete each task. Macrons matter: pōuri is different from pouri.

He kōrero: The makerspace challenge

At the library makerspace, Anahera, Aisha and Georgia are preparing a small robot for a community showcase. Anahera is harikoa because the robot gives a cheerful sequence of coloured flashes. Aisha is āwangawanga because one wheel keeps falling off. Georgia is ngenge after testing the robot all afternoon. When the wheel finally stays on, Aisha feels mārie. The friends agree that naming a feeling can help them explain what they need.

1.Match each Te Reo Māori feeling word with its English meaning.
  • harikoa
  • pōuri
  • ngenge
  • āwangawanga
  • worried
  • tired
  • happy
  • sad
2.In the story, why is Anahera harikoa?
  • The robot’s lights are working.
  • She has finished testing for the day.
  • The wheel keeps falling off.
3.Georgia has tested the robot all afternoon and now needs a rest. Which word from the story best describes how she feels?
4.Write the missing feeling word: “Kei te ahau.” means “I am happy.”
5.What does “Kei te pēhea koe?” mean in English?
6.Aisha is worried about the loose wheel. Which sentence says “I am worried”?
  • Kei te āwangawanga ahau.
  • Kei te pōuri ahau.
  • Kei te harikoa ahau.
7.In the story, Aisha feels mārie once the robot’s wheel stays on. Is this statement true or false?
8.Write a two-line conversation in Te Reo Māori. Ask a friend how they feel, then have them reply that they are happy.
9.A friend says, “Kei te ngenge ahau,” after a long afternoon of robot testing. Translate the sentence and explain why that feeling fits the story.
