What I really love about New Zealand is that even tho we are small and people forget about us, we were still the first to do some things or some of the first and make big moves, such as we were the first county to get women votes (god bless Kate Sheppard), one of the first couple countries to have gay marriage, banned the US putting nuclear ships in our waters and ports, etc. We've actually done a lot and no one realises this

In Maori, pronunciation is different to English, but it's actually much easier than English! All consonants are pronounced the same, with the exception of the "WH" pairing, which is generally pronounced "f", though in some dialects it's pronounced "w". Vowel pronunciation is consistent and has ZERO exceptions. A = "ah" (Barn), E = "eh" (Hen), I = "ee" (Yeti), O = "o-" (Hot), U = "oo" (Emu). Those are the foundational rules, and there are a few cases that are useful to clear up as well. When encountering Maori words with multiple vowels in a row, it can be intimidating for native English speakers. My pro tip is to pronounce each vowel independently. Some vowels will naturally blend together to form new hybrid sounds, but this should happen without you thinking about it. For example, "Paua" can be thought of as "P - ah - oo - ah", which when said together forms something like "Pawa". The last thing I like to add is that in Maori, the Rs are rolled, just like in Spanish to those who are familiar with it. I know there are some people who struggle to roll their Rs, and for these people I recommend replacing the R sound with a D sound. The English R is generated in a different way to the rolled R, so it's not really useful for English speakers to think about it as an R - you'll just try using the wrong parts of your mouth. Pretending that the Rs are Ds will get you much closer to how an actual rolled R is produced. For example, "Kereru" to an English speaker probably sounds more like "Keh - deh - doo". Once you've got all of the above, then you're pretty much set on Maori pronunciation.

@Leo English letters are used when writing Te Reo Maori, as as you say it doesn't have it's own alphabet. In some dialects of Maori the WH sound is actually pronounced closer to a W than an F, which is likely where translators decided to use WH, however across most of NZ it's more commonly pronounced as an F.

Queensland is a state of Australia, Queenstown is in the South Island of New Zealand. Yep Maori hunted the Moa to extinction, the animal was merely hunted as a source of food and nourishment to feed their tribe... it was called survival. The Maori weren't the only one's to completely wipe out an animal species to extinction, the Passenger Pigeon was once the most ubiquitous bird in North America, numbering in the billions. The bird was wiped out due to deforestation and over-hunting for their meat, following the arrival of European settlers in the 19th century. Australia is our closest neighbor, we're like two cousins that love to poke fun at each other, they're also our biggest rivalries in sports especially when Rugby Union or Rugby League is concerned, the rivalry has become even more popular now that both Aussie and New Zealand have women's Rugby Union, Seven's, and League teams also contributing to the sport. Australian accent is more bold or forward, the Kiwi accent is more chilled or relaxed. New Zealand waters have a huge variety of seafood, our shellfish alone is well above world class, green lip mussels, crab, fresh / salt water crayfish, paua, clams, kina (sea urchin), pipi (cockles), both rock and mud oysters, to name but a few including a vast selection of both fresh water and salt water fishes, trout, octopus, fresh / salt water eels, pacific snapper, lemon fish, piper fish, king fish, blue / red cod, tuna, bluenose, hoki, hapuka, orange roughy, mullet, gurnard, trevally, flounder and so on... these guys are missing out a lot of variety. There are only two official languages in New Zealand which are Maori and sign language, although English is widely spoken throughout New Zealand however, it is not one of the countries official languages. Some more noticeable New Zealanders are Jean Batten (Aviator), Taika Waititi (Film Maker), Israel Adesanya. (Mixed martial artist), Anna Paquin. (Actress), Sam Neill (Actor), Rachel Hunter (former Model), and my personal favorite New Zealand motorcyclist Burt Munro who made three world records, traveling with his personally built Indian motorcycle from New Zealand to the Bonneville Salt Flats in the U.S., one world record made in 1967 still remains unbroken. The 2005 film The World's Fastest Indian, based on his life, featured Anthony Hopkins as Munro. New Zealand All Blacks, most beloved Rugby Union WORLD CHAMPION team on the planet, why? not only because of their pre-game Haka performance but also because of the fact that they're humble when it comes to sportsmanship and playing the game, they never gloat when they win, they never sulk if they lose, they play fairly and professionally without the intention to purposely harm or injure the opposition... now that is world class. ✌️😎

"Fjord" is a "borrowed" or appropriated word from Norwegian (so yeah you're right that it's Scandinavian), with Norway being famous for its fjords. It basically means a long narrow inlet with steep cliffs protruding far inland, normally formed by a glacier. The word is widely used in geology/geography and can be applied to many similar features around the world such as in New Zealand, Canada, and so on. We aussies hang shit on kiwis all the time and get it returned just as much, but it's all in jest. Heck even when I've been there during a Wallabies vs All Blacks rugby match, where it's a foregone conclusion the All Blacks will smash us, the kiwis are still happy to chat and buy me a beer!

Please react to video titled : "PERTABALAN AGONG KE-16 | SEMUA RAJA-RAJA MELAYU HADIR Kecuali Johor, Kelantan, Perlis & N.Sembilan" This video will bring you to witness the coronation of our 16th King of Malaysia also known as 'Yang-di Pertuan Agong', attended by nine Kings or Sultans of nine states of Malaysia (noted: the Sultan of Johor, Kelantan, Perlis and Negeri Sembilan didn't attended but instead attended by their representative) To give you a headstart about our constitutional monarchy: Malaysia practices Parliamentary Democracy with Constitutional Monarchy and His Majesty The King as the Paramount Ruler. The Federal Constitution was legislated with the setting up of conditions for this system to exist. One of the characteristic of Parliament Democracy is the separation of powers into three parts which are the Legislative, the Judiciary and the Executive. Malaysia is also a country that practices a system of Democracy based on the Federation system. In accordance to this the states of Perlis, Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca, Johore, Pahang, Terengganu, Kelantan, Sarawak and Sabah have agreed to the concept of forming Malaysia. Each state involved has surrendered part of its power such as financial, defense, education, foreign affairs and others, as stated in the Malaysian Constitution, which is administered by the Central Government. There are matters that are under the power of the state and each state administers the power over those matters. As a country with a Constitutional Monarchy, it is therefore allocated by the Constitution the institutions of His Majesty The King as the Paramount Ruler, the hereditary rulers of the nine states and the Council of Malay Rulers. His Majesty The King has the power to safeguard the customs and traditions of the Malay people and the administration of the Islamic religion in each state. His Majesty The King is the Head of the Islamic religion for the states of Penang, Sabah, Sarawak and the Federal Territories. His Majesty The King is the Highest Commander of the Armed Forces. His Majesty The King carries out his duties under the Constitution under the advice of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. Meanwhile, the hereditary rulers are Head of State of his own state and carry out their duties under the advice of their Menteri Besar.

"The māori hunted the moa to extinction" - fact is, the moa (like all other mega fauna around the world) was dying out due to change in climate and environment, the last of the mega fauna actually. Another mega bird was the Haast Eagle (between 8 to 10 feet wingspan), which hunted the moa - it too was dying out and māori tales of the giant bird were considered mythological mumbo jumbo until bones and fossils of it were found. When the māori arrived, the moa were almost extinct - sure, they pushed it over the edge without realising how close to the edge they were, but they certainly were not the cause of the extinction that the common statement *"The māori hunted the moa to extinction"* implies.

22:30 - You guys get around 100 medals for every Olympics out of a population of 300 million people. NZ has only 5 million people and we average around 20-30 medals. In the Paris Olympics we came 4th in "number of medals per capita". USA came in 47th. Honestly, winning the most medals at the Olympics is pretty meh if your talent pool is so diluted. Trust me, nobody envies the USA for the Olympics. The only thing you guys have any part of the world beat is how cheap most things are in America PROVIDING YOU ARE WEALTHY (i.e. upper middle-class). If you've got money then American has the resources to make your own life into whatever you want it to be (as long as you can look past everyone else suffering around you). Other countries, including NZ, have far more expectations on its citizens to take part in civics and care of others and the quality of life between wealthy and non-wealthy people (like in NZ) is not that different at all. But regarding Australia / NZ relations vs America and Canada, Australia and NZ are practically identical in terms of closeness as the US and Canada. Culturally, politically and even border crossings. In fact, its much much easier for Aussies and Kiwis to migrate into each others countries than it is for Americans to migrate to Canada.

The south island, the north island. It would help to have someone who could pronounce the names. No hard g in Maori.

The USA and Canada have a much closer relationship than NZ & Australia (in fact i would argue the US/Canada relationship is much closer than almost any other pair of nations). Canadians are much more likely to follow American sport teams/players than Kiwis would follow Australian sport teams/players. Canadians know more about American history. Canadians are also aware of; and refer to American culture, American celebrities/historical personages, American politics in their everyday speech vastly more than a Kiwi would know about Australia. Kiwis know stuff all about Australia history/politics/culture unless they have lived in Australia.
