Formal:
* E aroha ana mātou: This is the most formal way to say "we love" and is appropriate for addressing someone with respect, like an elder or someone in a position of authority.
* E aroha ana tātou: This is a slightly less formal way to say "we love" and can be used for addressing a group of people.
Informal:
* E aroha ana tātou: This is a more informal way to say "we love" and is suitable for close friends or family.
* Kei te aroha tātou: This is another informal way to say "we love" and is suitable for romantic partners.
Adding emphasis:
* You can add emphasis to any of these phrases by using the word "tēnei" which means "this" and indicates that the love is very strong. For example, "E aroha ana tātou tēnei" means "We love this way."
Important Note:
* "Aroha" is a very powerful word in Māori and carries a lot of weight. It's not just a word for romantic love, but also for deep affection, care, and respect.
It's always best to err on the side of formality when addressing someone you don't know well. If you are unsure about the correct way to say "we love" in a particular situation, it's always best to ask a fluent Māori speaker.
