@YBN-SHOOTA-RAY Tt She seems pretty facist to me. Her government passed the Trans Pacific partnership agaist the interests of the people and in support of multi national corporations, brought in internet censorship and drove out political activists who tried to oppose the Pacic Partnership, at least one of who claimed asylum elsewhere for government persocution. She was being harrassed and intimidated by NZ authorities because her movement was able to get people protesting in the streets.

[@kaze6026]

When you live in New Zealand for most, if not all of your life...yet, by the pronunciation of Taranaki, some of you sound like you were brought up on the moon. Makes me severely cringe when I hear...Tarra Nackee, Towel Poe, Towel Wronga, Aya Taeya Rower, Whonga Ray, Whyra Wrapper, Eckha T' Hoona, Tie Happy. 😆Not much of a Jono and Ben fan, but loving Guy Williams more and more. (Bloody good pronunciation too!)

[@twosevenfourstroke7385]

🤣🤣🤣

[@lukec2226]

Perhaps they have better stuff to do that caring about what you think about their pronunciation? Don't be so precious.

[@nomanshigh3058]

Bro Te Reo was made up in the 80s, there was no single native language. So also no universal pronunciations. I hear Kaumatua up North pronounce shit waaaay differently to Te Reo. So who's wrong? Languages change with the population that use them, its just how it works mate.

[@kaze6026]

@@lukec2226 Oh, your one of them....lol.

[@LBshortforAlby]

Made up in the 80s? You mean legalised? Maybe even published in the 80s but it existed far before that. How do you think our people communicated far before the first known settler here, James Cock (forgive me if I pronounced that wrong, NOT) You think our Maori battalions that fought for you people to live on their now stolen lands, in the world wars just for you to dismiss our culture? Forgive us for taking pride in our identity, although I acknowledge the bad seeds of my nationality, for the most part our culture is loved by ourselves and others. We aren’t perfect and we don’t hold you to those standards either. We only ask for the respect we deserve after so many years of suppression. Anyone can tell me to get over it and that it didn’t happen to me so it doesn’t matter but it did, it happened to my grandfather and the relatives before him and my blood is the same they once carried. Until you know what it’s like to be whipped and caned, basically dehumanised for speaking your own native tongue, you simply cannot relate to the damage the past holds over our culture, even to this day. The people who choose to live here should understand the land they live on, might learn to appreciate it enough to pronounce what only pride some of us Maori have to acknowledge, the unique names of streets and cities in Te reo Maori
