LI: To understand different farewells in maori.

In Maori, we learned more about the maori language. We learned different ways of saying farewell to people in the maori language. Macrons are added to the words because it changes the maori meaning and the tone of how it is said. Macrons are important in the maori language because it can completely change the meaning of the word. If a Maori word is said or written and it does not include the Macron sound that it is supposed to, it can cause trouble and fuss. Our main objective for this activity was to translate different goodbyes from maori to english.
