What is the correct pronunciation of that word that you say at the beginning and end of stick news? (I assume that it means hello/goodbye). My best guess is key-ow-da. I'm not japanese and I speak perfect english. I just happened across your show one day whilst searching for 'the daily show'.
Thankyou, that would make sense as she says that she is from New Zealand and the Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand, however I am concerned about the pronunciation. The word "kiora" as you have written it would, to me, be pronounced as key-or-ra. I cannot hear an "or" sound when she says this word. The way it is written must therefore not give an indication of how to pronounce the word.

During the course of this unit, travelers will greet each other with the traditional Maori salutation,"Kia ora", which means hello and/or goodbye.
Kia ora!

Is there an *old* Zealand? I'd think there must be, but I'd never heard of a place just called "Zealand".

I believe she is saying "Kyodo" its the name of a news agency like "reuters" or "AP" it would appear before a news story as the source of the story.

"Kiora" is Maori for "hello", "hi" and I guess "bye".
