Kato || Arero: hei whakamārama:

Pae kare, aku kare ā-roto 
i a au e ruku ana 
ki roto i kā karekare
Koia te pae tata
heoi, ua tātā (very heavy rain) ana,
uaua te ngau paepae (taikawa – latrine beam)
i au e mau tātata ana

Patua rā i tēneki wā e wera 
ana te rino
Te rinorino whakahiamo 
Koirā ko taku tino kararehe mana atua,
Kātuarehe e whakaatu rā taku ūpoko pāpura
E ruaki kai (kei - like) tō te wēra (whale’s) 
puha
E tuhatuha ana ki tōu nā waha 
e tūwhera ana mai rā
E kuhakuha ana a pukurua i te horo hūare, āe rā
Kūare kā 
mea e kore e areare mai ki au
Puare ana te kiteka, hore kau e hau pirau 
(laying it on thick) 
Tēneki au, ko (kua) mauri tau

Te mauka.
Mauria mai rā!
Te mau takata (hospitable person).
Mauria mai rā!

Te takata whakamau.
Mauri atu!
Te mauāhara.
Mauri atu!

Te maumahara.
Mauria mai rā!
Mau te roko.
Mauria mai rā!

Māu tōu ene (go and bite yo ass).
Mauri atu!
Mau ake nei (forever and a day).
Mauri atu!

Te mau tūmārō (persistence)
Mauria mai rā!
Ka mau te wehi.
Mauria mai rā!

Te maumau takata.
Mauri atu!
Te takata maumau (wasteful person).
Pōuri atu!

Koia hoki! (I agree wholeheartedly!)
He aha hoki! (No way!)
Hoki atu, hoki atu (I’m sick of hearing about...)...
he rawe te roko i tōhoku reo Māori
E kī e kī, te kī a taniwha Pākehā
He hōhā
E hoki atu rā ki tōu 
nā hōpua
Kikī (full) ana te wai i te hoki, 
waihoki ko ō kohī (diarrhoea) 
Kohikohi tō weta (faeces). 
E hī, e matira (to fish (with a rod))
Ko te waha 
o te ika
He wahaika
	He patu e
He Rātū? E kāo,
he Rāmere kē
Meremere-tū-ahi
Ko te Paraire 
kai (kei) te haere
Kai te haere mātau (mātou) ki te wai
Mātau i te wai (knowing in the water)
Mātauraka 
i te korokoro
Anā 
tō mokomoko! (serves you right!)
Kā karu e pōhiri mai ana ki aku karu
taku kare pōwaiwai
Ko wai? 
Ko Wai Uiui (Inquisitive Water) 
He karekare o 
te taitai nunui!
Arā te reo pōhirihiri
Kaua hei hīhiri (spring up (of thoughts), desire)

Te reo e rere
Te wai e rere
Te ika e rere

Te manu e rere
Te iere, te iere
tere - teretere
te pūkā werewere

Kai (kei) te hiawai
Kai (kei) te hiainu
Pūpū ake te huare 
Tē aro i au (I was not aware...)
kīhai i areare au (...that I was not aware)
Mō te wareware au
Te koa 
te pukukatataka 
o te āhuataka
Ko (kua) taka te kapa¿
