MAORI Side Steps member Cohen Holloway looks like a Pakeha and has a Pakeha name, but the impersonation specialist presents a memorable lesson in te reo on Facebook.
The 2min45 sec clip hosted by Chappa (Holloway) includes basketball player Brook Ruscoe and political satirist Robbie Nicol of online show White
Man Behind a Desk.
Dressed in his “chur bay” T-shirt Chappa takes his two guests and audience through a few basic phrases in te reo.
He even brings in some kupu hou (new words) although aeawww, ooooh, touhuuu, bro, awwwwwww, wassup and pppffftttssshhh are nowhere to be found in the online Maori dictionary.
Ruscoe holds up a word card and tells Holloway it means he is handsome.
