I ngā rā whakatā, i kōrero māua ko TĪpene.
Stephan: Ka haere tāua ki Herekino ā tēnei rā?
Ruth: Ki te haere tāua ki Taipa, ka hĪ ika tāua.
Stephan: Ki te kore tāua e haere ki Herekino, kāhore tāua e titiro i te ngahere.
Ruth: Kei te pĪrangi ahau ki te hĪ ika; kāhore ahau i te pĪrangi ki te titiro i te ngahere.

E taraiwa ana māua ki Taipa, kei te kōrero māua.
Ruth: Ka kauhoe ahau ki te motu ā tēnei rā.
Stephan: Ki te kauhoe koe ki te motu, ka aha au?
Ruth: Ka haere mai koe ki te motu, mā runga waka!
Stephan: Ki te kore ahau e haere ki te motu, ka aha koe?
Ruth: Ki te kore koe e haere ki te motu, ka kauhoe tonu ahau.
Stephan: E ngenge ana ahau, i tērā wiki i hanga ahau i te taiapa roa.
Ruth: Ae, he mahi pakeke.
Stephan: ā tēnei rā, ka hĪ ika ahau.
Ruth: Ki te kore koe e hopu ngā ika, ka haere tāua ki te whare kai ā tēnei pō.
Stephan: Ki te hopu ahau i ngā ika, ka tunu kai ahau ki a tāua ki tō tāua kāinga.

I te pō:
I tunu a TĪpene i ngā ika. Kāhore māua i haere ki te whare kai.
Kua horoi ahau i ngā rĪhi. Kāhore anō a TĪpene kia horoi rĪhi.
Kāhore māua e mātakitaki ana i te pouaka whakaata. Kāhore māua e whakarongo ana ki Te Reo Irirangi o Aotearoa, e haere ana māua ki te moenga.

ā te Rāhine...
Kua horoi kākahu ahau. Kāhore anō ahau kia horoi i te papa i roto i te whare.
I tēnei ata, i hoko ahau i ngā kai.
I roto i te hokomaha, i te mātakitaki ahau ki ēra wāhine i te taha o ngā hua rākau.
Kāhore ngā wāhine i te mātakitaki ā rātou tamariki.
I oma ngā tamariki ki waho.
I oma ahau ki waho i te hopu i ngā tamariki!
Kāhore ahau i hopu i ngā tamariki. I tere rātou!
Kua hoki mai ahau ki tōku kāinga.
Kei te whakatā ahau nāianei.
Kāhore ahau i te mahi ā tēnei ahiahi.
āpopo ka haere ahau ki te whare pukapuka.
Kāhore ahau e haere anō ki te hokomaha!
