If you’re in need of a daily dose of adorable, this sweet little kotiro speaking te reo Māori will do it.
Posted to her māmā Tina’s TikTok account, little Naia launches into a flawless mihi. Finishing with a wiri and a cheeky little grin at the end, we’re beyond proud of her.
“Encourage our rangatahi to korero Te Reo 🙏,” Tina wrote alongside the clip.
As you'd expect, the comments section is flooded with words of love and support for the clever little one sharing her skills at such a young age.
“Makes ya proud hearing kids speaking Te Reo, well done,” wrote one user.
Another said: “What a little beauty - keep up culture and tradition. Too valuable to lose.”
“😍😭😍 Tēnā koe Naia! Te rawe hoki o tāu mihi 🥹,” added a third.
This isn’t the first time Naia has shown off her Reo skills. Tina has posted another clip of the toddler sharing a beautiful karakia.
It’s always heartwarming to see our tamariki and rangatahi showing the world te reo Māori.
Remember when this little girl went viral for singing ‘Tōku Reo Tōku Ohooho' Waiata with her māmā?
Footage of the four-year-old’s vocals has been viewed over half a million times on TikTok.
And let’s not forget the two twin girls who went viral for sending each other into the cutest giggling fit while teaching each other how to pukana.
Their māmā posted the moment to TikTok where it has been viewed over 621k times and received over 83k likes.
The value these little ones hold with te ao Māori is so important. Ngā mihi tamariki!
