Here's a breakdown:
* Kia ora: This is the most common greeting in Māori, similar to "hello" or "good day."
* Koutou: This is the plural form of "you."
So, "Kia ora koutou" literally means "Hello to you (plural)."
You can also use "Tēnā koutou" which is a more formal greeting.
Remember to use a friendly tone and a smile when greeting people in Māori!
