Kia ora !

I’m a te reo Māori student and love the language. For me having fun with a language is an awesome way to learn and retain it. Using colourful language makes te reo fun for me, part of my everyday use.

"E poko" (or just "poko") is a Māori phrase used as an exclamation, similar to "Bugger!" or "Damn it!" in English, expressing frustration, anger, or sometimes used jokingly, depending heavily on context, tone, and the speaker.

Meanings & Usage

• Exclamation of Annoyance: "E poko! Kua ua anō" (Bugger! It's raining again).

• Insult/Slang: Can mean "bloody bugger," used seriously or playfully.

Context is Key

The strength and meaning of "E poko" varies greatly. It's an expression of strong emotion, from mild annoyance to a serious curse, says Te Aka Māori Dictionary.
