I work at a rest home and I greeting the residents in Te Reo in the morning, some liked it but some ohhhhh dont talk Maori to me kind of attitude. I personally went to wish them a "Kia Pai Kai Tina enjoy your lunch" and again some thought it was nice but quite a few especially older men, woudl not have it. Sad how they still hold on to this attitude. Every morning I write Ata Marie, or another greeting on the notice board now. I really should learn Maori...
