How do you say hi in Maori?

"Hi" in Māori can be said in a few different ways, depending on the context and formality:

Formal:

* Kia ora: This is the most common and polite greeting, similar to "hello" in English. It can be used for anyone, regardless of age or status.

Informal:

* Tēnā koe: This is a more informal greeting, often used between friends or family. It translates to "greetings to you."

* Mālō e: This is a slightly more casual greeting, similar to "howdy" in English.

* Aotearoa: This is a less common greeting, but it literally means "land of the long white cloud," and is used to express a feeling of belonging to New Zealand.

Note: Māori is a spoken language and the pronunciation can be tricky. It's important to learn the correct pronunciation of these greetings from a native speaker or reliable source.
