How do you say welcome in maori?

The most common way to say "welcome" in Māori is "Nau mai, haere mai".

Here's a breakdown of the phrase:

* Nau mai: This literally translates to "You come", and is a welcoming gesture to someone arriving.

* Haere mai: This means "Come here", and is a welcoming gesture to someone who is staying.

Together, "Nau mai, haere mai" expresses a warm welcome, both for the arrival and the stay.

You can also say "Tena koe" which means "Welcome" or "Greetings". This is a more formal greeting and can be used in any situation.
