Translating Names

We learnt the maori alphabet and some maori names.

First, Whaea Oddie and we translate 4 names which are Tarati which goes with Dorothy, Kararaina which goes with Caroline, Hakopa which goes with Jacob, and Irihapeti which goes with Elizabeth.

Afterwards, we need to type down our name into maori names. My name is Siniva, I didn't find anything on maori dictionary. We used Whaea Oddie rules and my name in maori is Hiniwa.

I need to practice pronouncing the name because I'm not pronouncing the Maori sounds properly.
