Maori Transliterations

毛利语音译

Ko Taraika ahau. I am Taraika.

Ko, in Maori, means ” is ” or ” am “. Taraika, in Maori, means ” a truck ” - which is a transliteration of the English word. Ahau, in Maori, means ” I ” or ” me “. The sentence therefore can be translated as I am a truck, but this does not seem right. So, the word “Taraika” is therefore a name of a person or a boy. The sentence therefore can be translated as “I am Taraika” or “My name is Taraika”. We can now know the meaning of sentences like “Ko John ahau” or “Ko Margaret ahau”.

Ko Taraika ahau. Ko te tikanga o te reo Maori ko ” is ” or ” am “. Ko Taraika, i te reo Maori, ko te tikanga ” he taraka ” - he whakamaoritanga o te kupu pakeha. No reira ka taea te whakamaori i te rerenga korero he taraka ahau, engari kaore i te tika. Na, ko te kupu “Taraika” he ingoa tangata, tama ranei. Na reira ka taea te whakamaoritanga “Ko Taraika ahau” ranei “Ko Taraika toku ingoa”.

Ko Taraika ahau。我是塔莱卡。Ko 在毛利语中的意思是“是”。 Taraika 在毛利语中的意思是“一辆卡车”——这是英文单词的音译。 Ahau 在毛利语中的意思是“我”。因此，这句话可以翻译为 '我是一辆卡车'，但这似乎不正确。因此，“Taraika”一词因此是一个人或一个男孩的名字。因此，这句话可以翻译为“我是 Taraika”或“我的名字是 Taraika”。我们现在可以知道“Ko John ahau”或“Ko Margaret ahau”等句子的含义。
