Receptionist story

edit

Would be nice to include the story (if anyone can dig up the details and references) about the Maori recepionist? at Telecom? in the early 90's who was reprimanded for using this greeting. It has gone from 'funny/ethnic/political, to being "PC" or even just ordinary... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.167.249.253 (talk) 04:51, 12 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Extraneous content

All those other phrases have no business in an article about "kia ora"; they should be moved to List of English words of Maori origin or Māori influence on New Zealand English. Languagehat (talk) 13:12, 20 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

kia ora koe

In 6 years learning te reo Māori, I've never heard anyone say "kia ora koe" - kia ora kōrua/koutou are ok though Beware the sluagh (talk) 09:35, 15 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
