[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 192956"] There isn't a direct, literal english translation for "Kia Kaha". Any of the translations, "Be strong", "Stand strong", "Stand strong (together)", "Stay Strong" and "Forever strong". Also, possibly others where the general meaning is an ongoing strength, through either solidarity or communal unity. That's my understanding. Hope that helps! :) [/b][/quote] You used some pretty flash words in there but yep I'm a Maori and your right any of those meanings are all good. [/b][/quote] Well, it's a pretty cool sort of phrase youse Maori fullas came up with, I just had to give it the respect and proper explanation it deserved, lol :D [/b][/quote] I was getting hammered by these Maori guys from Aussie who were talking non stop throughout the game. Sounded like the Brotown crew with guns...they were really good...one of them started mocking me saying "come on out little black boy" lol! [/QUOTE]
