What is hello how are you in Maori?

There are a couple of ways to say "hello how are you" in Māori, depending on the level of formality and the context:

Formal:

* Kia ora, me pēhea ana koe? (This is the most common and polite way to say it.)

* Kia ora, tēnā koe. Me pēhea ana koe? (This adds a greeting to the question.)

Informal:

* Kia ora, kei te pēhea koe? (This is more casual.)

* Aue, kei te pēhea koe? (This is a bit more familiar, and might be used between friends.)

Important Note:

* Koe means "you" (singular). If you want to address multiple people, you would use koutou ("you" plural).

* You can also add a name to your greeting, for example: "Kia ora, John. Me pēhea ana koe?"

Remember that Māori is a living language, and there might be other variations depending on the region and the speaker.
