4/10 and 8/10

The NZ herald has a Maori language quiz.

I got a lowly 4/10 in yesterday’s on greetings – hint don’t be fooled by the pictures.

I did better with today’s on food – 8/10.

    I got a very sound 2 for the first and a nine for the second.

    Which proves a point made by the Maori Language Commission. In about the last 30 years there’s been about $500 million spent on Te Reo and the language has still plummeted to almost unsurvivable depths.. but the real value has been reaped by Pakeha who have picked up all the words they need (or want) in areas like food.

    Agreed JC. Also 2/10 but pretty chuffed with 8/10 on the next one.
