"HI" I loudly alert to a person from the UK. Me, I openly introduce myself with a warming pepeha.
Nō Tamakitakoto ahau
Kō Uzayr toku ingoa.
Translation:
I live in Auckland.
My name is Uzayr
.........
A pepeha is a simple introduction to a visitor but it is said in Maori. Some stuff said in a pepeha are your mountain, your sea, your river, your mum and dads name and your name and country.
It's normally said in a Marae or a Maori party or occasion.
To sum up, a pepeha is a Maori way of introducing your self, normally said in a Marae or a Maori party or occasion mabey even a school assembly.
