How do you say It is time for lunch in Maori?

There are a few ways to say "It is time for lunch" in Māori, depending on the level of formality and context:

Formal:

* Kua tae te wā kai tina. (This is the most formal and literal translation)

Informal:

* Wā kai tina tātou! (Let's eat lunch!)

* Kāinga ana te kai tina. (Lunch is ready.)

* Tīmata ana te kai tina. (Lunch is starting.)

If you're asking someone if they're ready for lunch:

* Kāinga ana te kai tina? (Is lunch ready?)

* E hiahia ana koe ki te kai tina? (Do you want to eat lunch?)

If you're talking about a specific time:

* Te rua o te ahiahi te wā kai tina. (Two o'clock is lunchtime.)

* I te wā kai tina. (At lunchtime.)

Remember that Māori is a living language, and the best way to learn how to say something is to ask a fluent speaker.
