[SpamBAT]

i hi ki mi ni pi RI ti wi ngi whi

o ho ko mo no po RO to wo ngo who

u hu ku mu nu pu RU tu wu ngu whu

[lishuys]

@SpamBAT thanx!

[SpamBAT]

@lishuys LOL I totally expected a message from the person who posted this video saying, "Yes, I know. Don't need to be rude" though I also put the lyrics up so no one had to ask. These sounds are the easiest words to any Maori song - EVER and it's nearly embarrassing to ask because the only difference between lines is the Vowel.

[lishuys]

@SpamBAT no probs:) . . . dani (the singer) learned it in primary a long time ago and so when i wanted it up for my class to learn the next day, she didnt bother checking the words and just went with what she could remember . . . it's good that u put up the correct words, now everyone will know . . . thanx again;)

[SpamBAT]

@lishuys Oh you are the person who posted the video! *doh!

I'm glad you didn't take offence. My Obsessive Compulsive Disorder demands that I fix things ;).

And yeah, like I said, anyone who is curious can use mine. The only other video for A Ha Ka Ma is by a primary school and it's not as easy to hear. Now no one will have to ask, they can just scroll down.

[MsLouise1968]

Fantastic. i hope you don't mind that I use this for my class to learn. I'll even try to make this my second ukelele song. After 10 green bottles of course. One miracle at a time. keep up the great work!

[01allye]

O- O ho ko mo no po to/ro to wo no fo

A E I O U

U- U hu ku mu nu pu tu/ru tu wu nu fu

hope that solves ur problems k whanau,

Kakite

[teraina]

@zinkpham009 that's actually wrong. this song is the maori alphabet (10 consonants) H, K, M, N, P, R, T, W, NG & WH being used with each vowel.

the video is almost correct, however dani is singing the W twice, instead of R. lyrics are:

A - HA KA MA NA PA RA TA WA NGA WHA

E - HE KE ME NE PE RE TE WE NGE WHE

I - HI KI MI NI PI RI TI WI NGI WHI

O - HO KO MO NO PO RO TO WO NGO WHO

A E I O U

U - HU KU MU NU PU RU TU WU NGU WHU

chur ;)

[ziondaingreen]

Hey Dani, its Called AEIOU (: .. I put it up on Facebook and My cousin just wrote that it was AEIOU (: ... nice voice btw (:

[mebjessica]

[ziondaingreen]

The tune is Stupid Cupid by Connie Francis

[idrnoel]

[mycameric]

@kiwichicke27 Here we go, another Maori girl havin a go at us for at least attempting to have a go at your culture. You're the shame on your own language haha!

[hazza3]

Actually that is how you pronounce the vowels.

A= Ah

E= Eh

I= Ee

O= Aw

U= Ooo

[lishuys]

@hazza3 thanks. I did learn my ah eh ee aw ooo(s) when i was kid.

[DJRU2]

I rememba this from Kohanga reo

check evry1 else out "hau thats not Maori aye!"

Bla-T-hell, this song was made for Tamafreakys to practice pronunciation.

so a haka ma 2 Uz.
