Sections:


Talking about an apology

  • Verb - Me whakapāha au (I must apologise)
  • Noun - I tuku te kāwanatanga i tētahi whakapāha ki te iwi (The governemnt issued an apology to the tribe)


Apologising or saying sorry 

  • Mō taku hē, mō taku hē, i pōhēhē au ka tīmata te hui i te toru
  • Taku hē, taku hē, i hē te pūrongo i tukuna ki a koe
  • Taku hara, taku hara, i hē taku whakahua i tō ingoa
  • Mō taku hē, ka tae tōmuri atu au 
  • Mō taku hē, i pōhēhē au ka tīmata te hui i te toru
  • Mō taku tōmuri
  • Mō taku kore i tae atu
  • Mō taku whakapōrearea i a koe
  • Kia aroha mai - Kia aroha mai koutou i nui ngā waka i te rori
  • Kia manawanui mai, kāore au e tae atu
  • Nōku te hē 


To feel sorry for someone 

  • Ka aroha rā
