W nowozelandzkiej angielszczyznie jest trochę zapożyczeń z maoryskiego, a Maorysi w ogóle mieszają swój język z angielskim. Ci, którzy mają ochotę, mogą posługując się Googlem spróbować odczytać, o co chodzi w tej przykładowej konwersacji z grupy nz.general.

What he did was wrong by anyone's standard,
he trampled the mana of his kuia and his family,
he is a person garnering a following, probably of weakminded and weak willed
people.
One of his comments was that you need to know the language and culture to
understand his actions, that is merely mana munching. People who do know the
language and culture will also know that what he did was wrong.
According to the oral history of the tiki there was nothing on it and given
to his kuia
by his great grandfather, it wouldn't have been so gifted to this daughter
if there were raruraru associated with the tiki.
But now there is raruraru and it is his.
Somewhere along the way he will have to put this right otherwise his own
people will turn upon him and his mind will be affected.
The police have done nothing about it because it is too sensitive but I
think the justice will come from other quarters and unforseen forces will
begin to move, but he will feel it.
