[tewhere1]

This waiata says exactly wat the English version sez...and MERE is the birthday girl.. the kupu "A" refers to the the "person", means its a "name"..not an "object"..{Mere} EG..Ra whanau ki "A" Mere.. Ki "A" koe.....happy birthdae to Mere... to you...Could also be Ra whanau ki "A" jason as well....But than you guys may have already worked it out..Akuanei!!

[TuiRoseCarston]

She said Mere witch means Mary in English... haha rndm i jst felt like saen that harhar

[pyronixcore]

Mere also means strong. Mere is the name of the Melee weapon commonly made from greenstone or hard wood, a sort of club-blade about 30cm in length.

[duxberry1958]

l need to know whats nattie in maori please can some help thx

[raeha358]

nattie? as in natalie?

english names are always transliterated, so for natalie, it would be natari (nah-tah-ree) or for nattie it would be nati (nah-tee). Its not a very common name so i cant really translate it.

[katene]

she said Mere.

[raeha358]

confused. i fawt she said nattie? its right there. what are you reading?

[katene]

i'm not reading anything. she said mere. she clearly said it.

[raeha358]

yup yah lost me! I was trying to translate what duxberry1958 wrote. I thought she wanted it for personal knowledge i didnt know she was referring to the song. I get what you mean though if she was.

[katene]

sori, my mistake. i'm not liking how youtube groups converations, it makes things so confusing sometimes. can't tell who's replying to what. :)

[raeha358]

hahaha sweet az
