How do you say farewell friend in Maori?

There isn't a single phrase in Māori that perfectly translates to "farewell friend." However, depending on the context and your relationship with the friend, you could use a combination of phrases:

Formal:

* Kia ora tāu, e hoa. (This is literally "Greetings to you, friend." It's a respectful and neutral farewell.)

* Tena koe, e hoa. (This translates to "Hello to you, friend" and is also a polite and neutral way to say goodbye.)

* Arohanui, e hoa. (This means "Much love, friend." It's a warm and affectionate farewell.)

Informal:

* Haere rā, e hoa. (This translates to "Go well, friend" and is a friendly way to say goodbye.)

* Ka kite anō, e hoa. (This means "See you again, friend" and is a more casual farewell.)

Adding the word "hoa" (friend) makes it more specific and adds a personal touch.

It's important to remember that the most appropriate way to say goodbye in Māori will depend on the specific situation and your relationship with the person.
