How do you say goodbye in maori a letter?

There are a few ways to say goodbye in Māori, depending on the formality and tone of the letter. Here are a few options:

Formal:

* Nō reira, tēnā koe. (This is a formal way of saying "Therefore, greetings to you.")

* Nō reira, tēnā koutou. (Formal plural, for multiple recipients. "Therefore, greetings to you all.")

* Nō reira, kia ora. (This literally means "Therefore, be well." It's a common and respectful way to end a letter.)

* Nō reira, kia ora tātou. (Plural version, "Therefore, be well all of us.")

Informal:

* Arohanui. (This means "with love" and is a very common way to sign off on letters and emails.)

* Ka kite anō. (Means "See you again.")

* Haere rā. (This means "Go well" and is a more casual way to say goodbye.)

Other options:

* Nau mai, haere mai. (This is a traditional greeting that can also be used as a farewell. It means "Welcome, come." This is a very respectful way to end a letter)

The best way to choose a closing is to consider the tone of your letter and your relationship with the recipient. If you're writing a formal letter, stick with the more formal options. If you're writing to a friend or family member, you can use a more casual closing.

Remember that the pronunciation of Māori words can be tricky, so be sure to use a pronunciation guide or ask a fluent speaker for help if you are unsure.
