A wee lesson designed to get people using Te Reo Māori more confidently. As much as I'd like to, I can't claim credit for this idea. I watched the Poi E movie and Ngoi Pewhairangi (Ngāti Porou) was giving this lesson. It looked fantastic and far too good to not 'borrow'.
Ko au = me.
Ko koe = you (the person I am talking to).
Ko ia = them (the person I am talking about but not to).
Ia is a gender-neutral term: boy or girl.
Ko wai au?
Who am I?
Ko wai koe?
Who are you?
Ko wai ia?
Who is that person?
Ko Luca au.
I am Luca.
Ko Hannah koe.
You are Hannah.
Ko Ryah ia.
That is Ryah.
Have a listen to Luca, Hannah and Ryah:

I hope you find this easy to follow and useful!
Mauriora!
