Tongan Language Week!

Mālō e lelei!

It’s Tongan Language Week – Uike Kātoanga’i ‘o e Lea Faka-Tonga, Monday 1 September to Sunday 7 September 2014.  Some year 5 & 6 children celebrated Tongan language week,  by giving Tongan lessons over the speaker and also some Tongan girls performed at assembly today.  

We have enjoyed celebrating and teaching people about our culture.  We hope you enjoy Tongan Language Week!

Here are some Tongan words:

Hello - Malo e Lelei

Hello teacher - Malo e Lelei faiako

 Go on - ‘Alu ā ē

Please - Fakamolemole  

Thanks a lot - Mālō ‘aupito 

Excuse me -  Kātaki
