How do you say be safe in maori?

There isn't a direct translation of "be safe" in Māori. The closest equivalent would be:

Kia haumaru (kee how-mar-oo)

This literally translates to "be healthy" or "be well," but it's often used in a similar way to "be safe" in English, especially when saying goodbye.

Here are some other ways to express similar sentiments in Māori:

* Kia kaha (kee ka-ha) - Be strong.

* Kia manawanui (kee man-a-wan-oo-ee) - Be patient.

* Kia ora (kee oh-ra) - Be well.

* Arohanui (a-ro-ha-noo-ee) - Much love.

The most appropriate phrase will depend on the context and the relationship you have with the person you're speaking to.
