What is the maori word for squash game?

There isn't a specific Māori word for "squash game" in the traditional sense. Māori language didn't have a term for this modern sport, as it originated in England in the 19th century.

However, you could use a descriptive phrase like:

* "Kēmu poroporo" - This translates literally to "ball game," but could be used to refer to squash.

* "Kēmu kōtu" - This means "racket game."

* "Kēmu whare" - This translates to "house game," referring to the fact that squash is played indoors.

Ultimately, the best way to communicate what you mean would depend on the context and your audience. You could also simply explain the game in Māori, using descriptive terms like "hitting a ball against walls."
