Lesson 129 - Saying “Thank you very much”

About this episode

meitaki maata = thank you very much (Rarotonga)

meitaki atupaka = thank you very much (Aitutaki)

meitaki = good, thanks,

maata/atupaka = big, many, large


Join the team at ⁠Kuki Learning⁠ as they work to keep the Cook Islands Māori language and culture alive; and share it with the world. Your hosts, Charlie Charlie and Tom Harrison, both proudly hail from Aitutaki and share strong family ties to Rarotonga, Atiu, Mauke, and Pukapuka.

Now based in Aotearoa New Zealand, they stay closely connected to the islands and frequently return home. Each episode is designed to teach you the basics of Cook Islands Māori, with bite-sized lessons, cultural insights, and real-life stories from two passionate educators.

Whether you're a beginner or reconnecting with your roots, this is for you.
