What is the maori translation for my name is?

The Maori translation for "my name is" depends on whether you are a male or female. Here are the options:

For males:

* Ko [your name] tōku ingoa. (Formal)

* Ko [your name] toku ingoa. (Informal)

For females:

* Ko [your name] tōku ingoa. (Formal)

* Ko [your name] toku ingoa. (Informal)

Breakdown:

* Ko: This is a particle used to introduce a noun or pronoun.

* [your name]: This is the space for your name.

* tōku/toku: This means "my" and it changes slightly depending on the formality level.

* ingoa: This means "name."

Example:

If your name is John, you would say: Ko John tōku ingoa.

Note: In Maori, you would typically introduce yourself by saying your name first, then adding "ko tōku ingoa." It's a bit different from English where we say "My name is..."
