day 185

oma

(v) to run.

Kia tere te oma.

Run fast.

I te taenga mai o te pirihimana, ka oma atu te iwi.

When the police arrived, everyone ran for it.

Kei te haere au ki te oma.

I’m off for a run.

*Oma will be known to many from the te reo Māori version of ‘Run Rabbit Run’ – ‘Oma rāpeti, oma oma oma!’

day 186

ora

(v) to be alive, survive.

Nāu au i ora ai.

You saved my bacon.

(a) well, fit, healthy.

Kei te pēhea koe? Kei te ora ahau.

How are you? I’m well.
